Short story, this engine let go about 30 minutes into the break in period..is there a way to tell if this was caused by a too lean condition or lack of oil?

Hello fellow seadoo'ers, Can anyone tell me if there is a difference between the pistons from a 2001 951 di vs a 2004 951 le di. The BR microfiche displays a different part number, but its common for brp to do that with the same part but different year. Does anyone have a both pistons to...
