    Looking at the pictures it looks like sharp clean breaks. Like faulty pistons. Is that possible?

    Every piston in every picture I see there died of detonation for sure. They burn down to the ring lands near the valve reliefs first, then start to look like you took a 5# sledge to them if you keep rattling them.

    Nope....once the pieces broken off....it pretty much beat the hell outta everything.

    Like Bob said....it happened FAST.
