A Chevy small-block V-8 yes. A set of 8 pistons costs <$100 and any auto machine shop knows them thoroughly, or just buy a complete "long block" for $1500. A M-B diesel, not so easy. The set of 5 new turbo pistons on ebay did drop price to $1300, so jump on that, but insure you can get other critical parts (bearings, sleeves, ...).
