. You however are like a broken record. This thread is about the engine failing in someones pride and joy. Hardly the approriate place i would have thought for more your anti hatch routine 
It just becomes so boring

Thats the key point guys - if FHI (or FHI's piston supplier probably) did re-design the piston in some way to help prevent the ring failure if it runs lean then they & IM will want to keep that very quiet....
They wouldn't want anyone (especially those owners with the old pistons who still have warranty time left!) to know they have designed out the problem with both component mods as well as software - effectively admitting that the hardware is not up to the job (which is of course what the majority of engine experts who'll give an opinion on this are saying).

if there is a change then it will show up on the parts screen when you order the part, they have just changed the oil filters again so a new part no. and they are now from the u.s
