consider most setups using aftermarket, preassembled short blocks are making 2-3x more power than you are and have a plethora of variables ultimately leading to the engines demise.
it sounds like you need to replace that piston with another stock one and carry on. you might be able to get away with doing that in the car.

Yeah I understand and am with you, at least I need to look at it and to do that I basically have to pull the engine anyway and pull the piston out to get a look at it and may find unexpected damages anyway. It would seem like trying to get under there and figure out how you could torque back the rod bolts under the car seems like a nighmare haha.
