More than likely the rave valve is worn and traveling too far,thats what grabed the rings and caused the piston failure.

Last night I went in to the shop manual then poked around the engine and found that the TB throttle body to intake manifold rubber boot clamp was not even secured. I could rotate it around the port on the PTO (power take off) cylinder ( the one fried) . On the MAG cylinder (closest to the magneto) the clamp was not tight as well. I bought the doo 3 years ago so I have to think it was like this all the time and I was lucky to have it last this long. So I think with the air leaking in thru this could definitely caused a lean condition and destruction of this cylinder. Contrary to mike above the rave valve cant travel further into the cylinder as it wears imo as there is a definte stop.

Rave valves were ground back at shop for oversizing of cylinders. I think I'm going to take a little more off the middle of the pto cylinder rave as the clearance does not look as much as the rest of the valve.
