Sorry to see the carnage. Hope your rebuild doesnt bankrupt you.

Where did you run?

I just lost mine last week as well. Still haven't torn in yet...
Ouch.
it is a scary thought to dump alot of money into a motor and still think bad things could happen to it but really kinda happens in any motor sport. I had 5k into my short block, then another 3.5k in go fast goodies like injectors, tips, dual fuelers, and some other stuff. it was nerve racking just before i hit the starter and it fired up but man what a feeling when it comes to life and all your hard work plays out.
i personally wouldnt build one though without the expectation that it could very well could come right back out in a few thousand miles. not saying this will happen and the chance is small (and getting smaller with the builders that continue to perfect these motors) but it happens

Damn. Thats worse than I thought. Is the block/crank wasted too?
That is definitely know the top 10 of most f'd up pistons I've seen...
