18/8 Stainless ok for displacer cylinder?

As some of you might be aware I've been trying to build my own version of approtechies water bottle Stirling engine design.
I built one out of a 500ml aluminium which works well. Stainless steel is supposed to be a much better material for the displacer
cylinders. I'm going to build a 1 litre version. The water bottles I've been looking at are "18/8 BPA free" stainless steel, will this work well for this engine ?
