Nope. Your older press fit pistons do not have grooves machined in them for the pin retainers.

If the block is clean they will swap over.

Don't think it's absolutely necessary to balance, but I'd have it balanced if it were my build.

Would there be anything to worry about using higher mileage rods and pistons?

Not if there clean and pass inspection.

No major scuffing on pistons and still round. Pin Holes are round and within spec. same with rods, Holes on size and not bent or stretched.

And most importantly Nothing has been over heated!!!
