Not that it helps with your quest, but (hopefully) of interest.
When I was working at Ford we had an engine being tested for cold start durability at a University. As proof (if it was ever needed) that starting an engine repeatedly from cold with a fuel-enriched intake mixture would wreck an engine, there was a need for new pistons after several months and x000’s of start procedures. When trying to source new pistons, however, it was found they were not listed as a spare and could only be bought with an engine block. As this wouldn’t help our engine block durability testing, great discussions ensued taking several hours and it was agreed some pistons could be supplied direct from the assembly line (maybe one car was released without pistons? 😊). This is a good example of how Ford goes to great lengths with their testing (and probably other manufacturers do as well).
