How do you know whether to use oversized pistons and rings when rebuilding an engine?

One would use over-sized pistons and rings (TOGETHER!) when the cylinder has been bored to accept the next size piston. For instance, damage to a cylinder wall may necessitate boring the cylinder an extra 0.020" (twenty-thousandths
of an inch). You would then use a piston and ring set that was 0.020" larger than the originals.

Can you put a use piston in?
no no no no no, and once again to solidify my point, no! as the engine is used your pistons, and cylinder walls wear in a certain pattern, and they have a different level of wear from car to car, what you have to do generally is send the motor to a machinist to bore the cylinders out slightly, then get new oversized pistons
What causes an engine to require rebuilding?
Mostly wear is what causes an engine to require rebuilding. When the pistons, cylinders, crankshaft and other critical items wear past their useful service, the engine gets sloppy. It will burn a lot of oil and not maintain oil pressure. That will lead to major engine damage and then it will be an engine replacement. In some cases, an engine replacement can be cheaper than a rebuild and they usually come with a better warranty.

A rotary engine has how many pistons?
0. A Rotary Engine does not have any pistons.The rotary engine is an early type of combustion engine. There is no particular quantity of pistons to a rotary engine, but usually an odd number. The type of engine known as the Wankel engine and sometimes known as a rotary engine has no pistons, but has one rotor per combustion chamber.
What is the difference between a v6 car and a v4 car?
Simplified, a V6 engine is an engine with 6 pistons. A V4 engine is an engine with 4 pistons. (The more pistons the more horse power and the more gas you go through) -a 22 yr old girl
How many pistons in a 8 cylinder engine?
A normal combustion engine has one piston per cylinder. So a 4 cylinder has 4 pistons, a 8 cylinder has 8 pistons, etc.
