Nothing wrong with mixing-matching pistons as long as the balance is 
right and the parameters are the same (compression etc).    The 
engine simply won't care.    BTDT.
Just make sure your abuse of the engine does not exceed the lowest 
common denominator piston's capabilities.  ;)

What's more, the balance doesn't even have to be exact between all of 
'em, as long as opposing pairs weigh the same.      Rods too.    This 
is one of the things I like about 'Vair engines in that they're 
easier to balance than V type engines.
