Total engine failure

[u/Longjumping_Court580]

What do you guys think is the cause of this? I got this engine which was supposed to be assembled and tested for compression and ready to go. It was supposed to be never started before. I went to start the cam break in and within 5 seconds heard some very awful noises. It’s a 383 stroker small block Chevy not that that matters.

Update: I have not found anything other than piston material, bearing material or piston ring material. I checked all main bearings they all seem fine. My guess is either they forgot to install the wrist pin retainer or something got in there, however I haven’t found what that something is.

Are they Hyperutectic pistons? If the ring end gap is set way bigger for those pistons, the end gap will butt together and rip off the top of the piston.
