firecracker22 said:Next question: is OEM really THAT much better than aftermarket when it comes to pistons? I know in the world of hot rodding, aftermarket was better but it seems the prevailing opinion in the motorcycle world is that stock is better.

firecracker22 said:I was told that Wiseco, etc. aftermarket pistons are sandcast, and stock pistons are forged or some other process that is better than cast but not as expensive as forged, hence the quality difference. Is that true?

Anybody want to guess why this happened? Flooding the filter would create a rich condition, no biggie. But maybe it whacked a few crank seals, caused a chronically lean condition, then months later things finally get hot and nasty enough to seize the piston pin, breaking the piston skirt, etc.
You did put in premix, right? :debil:
