I recently had a engine builder of excellent reputation tell me that he does not like hypereutectic pistons. When asked why he reached under the bench and pulled up a zip-lock bag of small metal pieces. He said that this is why looking at the bag. He went on to say that if you experience detonation then this is what will happen. They appairently don't melt down or crack, they just plain explode!

My next set will be forged.
