They came out because they split in the middle, notice some are sticking out both sides of the piston :o

ok I see a couple of spark plug wires hanging.  That "was" a gas motor?  not diesel?

definitely not diesel since black smoke wasn't pouring out of the stacks once he stepped on it.  I have seen that happen on many Top Fuel Harley dragbikes when they hydraulic and explode when there was an spark problem (especially when mechanically driven fuel system is being used).
