No, not until you measure that piston for wear.
You won't know by looking at it.
Might not be a good idea to put it in a new cylinder.
I suggest you buy a piston to go with any new cylinder swap.

Yeah, I agree. If you swap cylinders, you still wanna use a new piston and rings. So yes, you might want to have the new (used) cylinder swap honed out, then buy a new piston and rings/etc set from a Honda dealer. Much better path then trusting one of the online kits.
