The limiting factor with piston life, more than anything else, is the max RPM used. However, with these engines, the requirement to change pistons wasn't solely dictated by piston life as such (if not abused 15hours is realistic), but by the desire to not let a badly worn piston cause undue bore wear, since there is only 0.01mm between each bore size. However since your not too fussed about having the pinnacle of performance, just gear it so that it doesn't rev over 15,000 & have fun!
