Hi there,

It could depend on where the piston failed, can you post a pic? Is there damage on the crown? Has a skirt failed? Different things can cause a piston failure. It may have been just the increased pressure in the cylinder as just to much for the old piston, if it has failed around a ring land, I would be suspecting this.
