It's not a bolt-on affair. There would be a lot of machine work involved and you'd have to find a wrist pin
bearing suitable to adapt the larger 090 piston to the smaller 088 connecting rod. It would be a lot of work.

Was just wondering cos' they seem to be cheaper to buy that the 088 replacement
 
If you had to shop out the machine work involved, you'd have over $500 invested in the labor.

Thought it would be easier.

Might find an 088 barrell a bit cheaper some where, even a good second hand one might do.
