Blown Motors

Just got back from my Nissan mechanic where i listened to a motor on its last breath.
2002 ST 2001.000 ks, when i said that sounds bad they informed me that it was number 5 in the last week, from 170.000 ks up.
Holes in the tops of pistons the size of a 10 cent piece.
I feel for the owners and family big time.
And here i was thinking i was having a bad run.

now i wonder if you could find out if any of these
motors had had the n.a.d.s done to them would be
interesting to know
and where they are from

I aked the young bloke there and he said a standard motor, 4 cyl. 3 ltr.
They think its the bost that causes the problem in them.
Second hand info folks.

if that was the cause fitting a dawes valve might be the answer
