Here are the broken pistons!
Here are two photos of the pistons once the builder took the rings out. The lands fell off into his hands. I am very lucky it didn't take the motor out! No signs yet of any detonation. Has to be defective pistons from SRP. They only have less than 5,000 miles on them. Glenn
Are those forged or hypers? How did you're cylinder walls fair?

If you were in CT I'd say it looks like the results of a guy named Ralph who likes machine blocks oversize. I think he figures it's a good way for return business- if you don't check his work.
Check the bore diameter to see that it is machined for the pistons before blaming the parts.
