hi-compression set up can break your piston ring hole. are you using stock head with stock valve?

I just modify my std head (exhaust n intake) bigger hole. Valve is std
I just running 140kmh n not more than that, that mean I need to loose my compressor with big valve mr sacker42

2 times happen to me, i was using uma 62mm ceramic bore. But my uma piston was damage at the ring slot but the block still good., thats why i bought again 62mm pitsbike forged. Again.... the piston ring slot cracked and damage., but my uma block still no damage thats why i bought again a 62mm pitsbike forged at third time and now my piston is still alive! Finally i found that my carb jettings is LEAN., that is the cause why my piston ring slot is always damage. Overheat is the main cause of damage.
