honda list's the max speed as 32mph

yes you can swap the pistons

in fact ..best to swap the whole top end

cylinder, head, piston & rings, even the wrist pin ( holding piston to rod )

the rings are already lapped into spec with that cylinder..

take care when putting in the head/cylinder bolts

8 to 10 ft lbs of toruqe is not very much and it is easy to over tighten the bolts and strip the engine case or warp the head..

also the cylinder bolt holes are loose enough that you can get the cylinder 'out of alignment ' in any direction and you end up scuffing the piston, when you run the engine..

make sure the cylinder is seated in the block and the piston is at the bottom of stroke before installing the head and tighening the bolts ; hand tighten before toruqeing them down.. USE a toruqe wrench.. borrow it or rentit.. get one for inch pounds and set it at 100 inch lbs..
