Hang on to all those spare parts (debris as you call them) that you find in the block and oil pan.
You never know, one day you might need them to fix another engine.
O.K. ..... maybe not.

From the Old French verb a noun meaning “worry, boredom” was derived, which became ennui in modern French. This noun, with the sense “boredom,” was borrowed into English in the 18th century, perhaps filling a need in polite, cultivated society.

Sorry bro...that's kinda what I'm good at doing..helping my peeps out during their frustrated stages by making them laugh a little.
I've learned quite a bit from your chronicles and really hope that you make a dvd outa this some day as others have mentioned.

Not detonation. Hit rev limiter under 12lb of boost and PCM pulled fuel.

As I said, I think what you will find is that the ring lands on those two pistons collasped from extremely high cylinder pressures created by detonation. Detonation occurred from the lean condition created when the Rev Limiter momentarily shut off the fuel. With the rings unable to seal properly on those two cylinders, the continuing combustion process eroded the pistons as it escaped past them into the crankcase.
