if you're changing your piston rings, I assume you are re-honing the bore as well?

You cant really say how good your pistons are and how long they will last unless you know the conditions they are going to be under. However, a forged piston will handle a great deal of power. I would defiantley get those walls cleaned up a little. At least a hone of .005''.
