Piston

Okay I broke the bottom part of a piston and I plan on replacing it because who knows if it's compromised and don't want to have high revs in the Piston blow apart and then ruin the whole engine.

my question is on the parts diagram for a piston there's three different model numbers and then when I search a model number or a part number rather there's a lot with the same part number but the ending numbers where they go -1118 OR -1257 OR -1101 just to name a few so how the hell is one supposed to know when the online manuals only give you the first five digits

 I should mention 1982 KZ 1100 D1 spectre

1118 is the stock size piston, the others are oversize (thus the OS in the part description)
