Not always the case.........if it`s an import get it mapped for sure...

If it runs lean the combustion temperature incraeses significantly which can melt a piston by temperature alone.

Alternatively detonation (pinking) will slowly damage the piston until its holed (caused by running lean, too advanced or by pulling oil over)
