    ^^^ what he said.
    Just make sure to measure the spare cylinder set to make sure that they are useable (not egg shaped, not in need of a re-bore). Ideally you'd want to swap the pistons over as well since those rings are matched to those bores. If you swap pistons along with the cylinders you will need new wrist-pin clips; they are a one-time-use item.
