its a long shot that swapping one piston will last, some have done it and the engine was just fine, others have not had such good luck.

What typically happens?
What if I swapped all 6?

with out a machine shop or at least checking the bearing clearances? boom in 200 miles maybe, or maybe it lasts 30,000 miles, hard to say.

what ever you do dont unbolt the crank.

in the end a used whole engine, even if its n/a and you use your old engine to top swap it will be cheaper and more reliable in the long run.
