The pistons did not seize... they all slid out normally when I separated the cases

This may lead to aluminum-to-aluminum (since the bore itself is is Al-Sil) contact and subsequent seizing. If you have plenty of time you may try, I`d be very curious to see how it turns out. You may end up wasting your time though.

The pistons seem to be OK, I'll have to do a closer inspection. I'll have a look at your links.
