George,
I also don't have any experience with these pistons but this specific topic
was brought up in my Rotax engine class at Lockwood. The instructor said
absolutely don't do it because there have been some engine failures/damage because
of it. I don't remember any specifics because it has been over a year since I
attended. I just remember the warning.

Not necessarily. Depends upon serial number of engine. Later models
introduced new parts with separate part numbers.
