Not sure I understand why you didn't run the lighter weight pistons & pins they help spin the engine up RPM's. Heavier pistons and pins put more stress on the rods.
I guess hearing the valve reliefs were equal cc's but the compression height being thicker they might be heavier. We are talking about 3sets of pistons right? The ones from it the set put on the scale on video and the new ones. You made the better call any way but I'm getting up there in age and gotta make sure I'm not hearing and seeing things that aren't there!
When you break the glaze on a cylinder like that, use a blade hone. A dingle ball gives a trapezoidal shape to the bore. Don’t take my word for it. Take a look at Uncle Tony’s Garage. He’s been building budget engines and full race engines since the 70s. I think he explains this in Project Bottle Rocket series of videos.
That guy takes a lot of flack but he’s forgotten more today than I’ll likely ever know about building engines. I love his stuff even if he is all over the place
Huntertuned (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PSAvsMblvlc.html) Did a lot with DIY dyno stuff. Sorry I don't have any leads on gear but he got junk parts, stuck them together cheaply and used an off-the-shelf, budget dyno controller and got it working. He eventually replaced it with better stuff as he needed more capacity.
