Engine rebuild with standard pistons?
Sorry, another question. If an engine was rebuilt but the standard pistons were re-used, would this be a worry? Particularly if the car has a simtek ECU with ALS? It's an STI RA V6

Don't know why it was rebuilt. Here is a quote from a for sale add by the same owner back in 2011.
Had this car for nearly 5 years, but decided to do some upgrades a couple of years ago. The final result was 379.6 bhp, done by the www.jollygreenmonster.co.uk at Surrey Rolling road.
The car only gets used at weekend due to having a company car, always cleaned and polished even if not used.
Car was imported in Nov 2001
The Engine rebuild was finished in November 2009.
