Harm? Probably not. Back when I was in college I had a 65 MGB with a
knackered engine. I pulled it apart and found two short skirt pistons and two
long skirt pistons. The car ran fine for several years before I tore it down.
If you're not going to rave it or drive it hard on the street it will
probably be fine.
The most bizzar piston mod I heard of was on a Model T that had a a bad
knock. Turns out someone hand made a piston of hardwood. Once it got hot it
preignited the gas pretty effectively.
