Well guys i visited my car at the dealer yesterday its so sad seeing her in that state. Official statement from the tech was that the car ran lean, and too much heat caused piston #2 to fail and the piston ring shot up the valve. Heat is generated because of a lack of fuel, advancing timing and running lean can cause this. Thank god for an awesome warranty from toyota, dont think i will be running a Tune at least until the issues are resolved.

Piston #2
