I would imagine detonation worked the top of the piston loose at the ring land. This allows it to flop around in the cylinder and smash into the head and possibly the plug. You will know for sure when it comes out and is disassembled.

Could the timesert on # 8 been threaded too far in? You'll know when the head is pulled.

Oil in tb is common, are you sure there is a hole in the piston? If so id lean toward the thread insert being in to far.

Could a valve seat fallen out? Thats common from the head tick.
