Predetonation due to too hot of a glow plug or too tight of a compression setting may cause excessive carbon buildup. I just clean my piston top and turbo button with steel wool.

The sure sighn is any pitting on the piston. Don't mistake pitting in the carbon for pitting on the piston (clean it first). If after a wipe with steel wool theres little dot holes then thats detonation.

The first Conrod deosn't last as long in engines that come from the factory with too much pinch. Breakin methods can really make a difference on real tight engine types.

How much fuel was ran thoughthe engine when if poofed.
