What happened to my piston???? pics inside

You had a really build before this...nothing too outrageous, but good, reliable HP (at least I would have thought reliable). What do you think caused it....poor piston design??? Is there anything that can done to prevent it without swapping pistons?

I feel like the injector stuck open. I was not racing and had not ran it hard in weeks.

I thought so too, but the reason for the last build was my stupidity. I ran it long and hard egt's were really high and may have weakened the pistons. They looked good during the last build, but I have put about 12-13k miles since then also.
If it all works out its gonna be a little more serious this time :evil

I'd like to see the end of that rod to see if it ovaled

I just poured water down the piston (in the hole for cooling jet) and realized there is a cavity all the way under the bowl for cooling. You guys may have already known that but I just learned something...lol.
JJ, its not ovaled bad enough for me to see it without measuring it.
