If you are going to pawn your goods on this forum (especially for ~$20K for your 'brawler' package without pistons), please give data that is helpful to those looking for guidance... (stick to the original question asked)

If they broke there was Detonation.
I agree the pistons are the susceptible to detonation where a forged piston might tolerate some.
The key is don't have any, make sure you have adequate fuel supply for the target HP.
