ARIAS pistons blow! 2nd time broken at the ringland. Wiseco .040 going in next.

I had FOUR ******* SETS of those garbage pistons all lose a chunk just like your first one - right in the valve relief. Went with CP and never looked back.
 
Bought something today... 1/2 price @ Cambodian Tire! :D

I decided to add some more lightness to the car today. Then I loaded ALL of the interior stuff that I had removed and had stored in my spare room along with todays donations and took them to the landfill. Total weight? A staggering 70 kgs!!! I couldn't believe it!

So with the pistons that were damaged due to just fuel cut by our friendly dark ages microtech, can you tell me how continuing ignition with no fuel would do that?
