Can you put a used piston in car?
There is no reason why you can't. If the rod bearing is still in it, you can tell if it has been spun. If the bearing appears alright, there should be no reason to have it checked. You would use new rings and a new bearing which are the parts that matter. You might even be able to use the old rings and bearing, but no one would. Too much chance of having a problem after it was put in.
