I'm going to do this sometime too...maybe next winter...my 99 has less than 20K on it..I want to do the 10:1 piston swap
should you wait to order rings an pistons until you remove the jugs an check for how they're wearing...I don't know how likely it is the cyl wear an will need to be trued.

My 1996 EVO had 72,222 miles on it when I bought it in Aug, 2013, in July 2016 I had 91,850 miles on it, and had developed a base gasket leak/seep on the rear cylinder, I used that as a excuse to change the pistons. You couldn't tell if the engine had ever been apart, but my cylinders showed no ware at all, they miked at the new stock bore dimensions, 3.498". I have a good engine hone, Lisle I think, so I used my drill press and did the honing myself.
