" Hi, The skirting/bottom side

" Hi, The skirting/bottom side of 1 my pistons broke off & locked up the motor. It also craked the exhaust port on that Cylinder. I plan on having that Clyinder resleeved and put in a new piston, connecting rod & bearings. When the motor locked up no other damange was done to the crank or other cylinders. The motor has 100 hours on it. My question is should I be replacing the other pistons too? "
