kinda looks like a munched up cylinder dowel

What do you mean by this?

Oh no those are still there in the cases. I set the pieces i took out of the piston and it matches up exactly with what broke off on the clamp. Has the same thickness and same width. I dont have the actual clamp any more i matched it up with the new clamp. I am positive this is it. Nothing is missing or broken. All rings are still intact, circlips are perfect, ring alignment pins are perfect. Got a new piston coming and ill try it out this weekend. Hopefully it lasts longer than 10 miles lol
Ive been reading around, should i bump my ring end gap from .018 to .020? Or more?
I did notice a very slight mark on the other piston on the intake side. Its not bad at all
Heres a few pictures:

How's the cylinder wall?

Cylinder still looks great
personally i wouldnt mess with the gap. mine were all right at .018 when i put the rk tek pistons in mine. 125 miles so far and all good.
when you put that back together make sure the crank case is clean.
wow ! thats awesome that Nik is tough stuff
I can't believe that those little pieces did all of that damage. I'd think that they would have blown out the exhaust at some point. I'd look long and hard at another culprit.

i was thinking the same thing maybe it was the whole clamp :noidea:

Did you acid wash the cylinder?
From the looks of that piston i would be looking long and hard.
Deja vu wouldnt be any fun.
Check the rod bearings for debris.
SMF has some good advice below:
The gouge in that piston looks pretty harsh.
Best to re-blueprint on re-assembly too.

The broken piece was bigger than what I found. These pieces were stuck in the piston. I'm sure the rest flew out the exhaust. As far as the bottom end I don't think anything went down. I ran a magnet through it and not a single piece of metal came out.

The recoil side cylinder is good but the PTO side has damage. The piece caught is a couple ports..
Also the piece i pulled out of the piston fits perfectly in the gouge in the side of the piston. I am positive this is the issue. Like i said the rest of the pieces must have gone out the exhaust.

Got my new piston today. Why isn't the skirt coated like the original 2 Kelsey sent me??
What clamp are you referring to?
As for ring end gap, I would follow what the directions state.
