How did you over rev it and blow a piston out? Did you downshift instead of upshift? Do you have the Hondata reflash and rev past the factory intended MAX RPM?

You paid $4200, I hope you kept the old engine and/or parts, if not you just gave money away.

Sounds like you shoved in back into first and popped the clutch...the way you described it, you never would have blown your engine as the rev-limiter would have kept you save. Keep the new motor in better shape!
