Is it safe to just swap them without any machine work?
I'm at 20k miles. Care will be H/C/I/FBO/E85. Are pistons and rods really anything I need to worry about at this point?
Most time consuming part is filing the rings. All you might need is a ball hone on a drill if you want to knock any glaze off the cylinder walls. We did nothing to mine but it only had about 4000 miles on it. If you take you time it'll take 4-6 hours being cautious.
