Default RE: Piston Damage

That's not detonation damage -- detonation produces much more radiused pits. That was definitely caused by a foreign body that has made its way into the cylinder.

I'm picking it's a bit of the bearing cage (yet again).

Strip the engine and I think you'll find that the cage on the rear bearing has started to disintegrate.

That's why *I* don't use metal-caged bearings any more.
