over revving is what I have been told causes this. I had 3- 460's with same issue. Here's a quote and pic from madsens1.com


Damage From Over-Speeding The Engine
pistonringland.JPG

The piston above has been damaged by over-speeding. Look at the piston material between the ring-lands. You can see a big chunk of it is missing and some has been "squished" thinner, creating a super-wide ring-land. Look at the top ring (bottom of photo). You can see the edge is rounded-over, a sure sign the rings were catching in the exhaust port. When this occurs, this sets off a high frequency vibration, eventually breaking the ring-land.

yeah i have a stihl pdf in engine failures. said the same thing :beer-toast1:
