One (1) mechanical forensic clue for reasons of piston overheating still not answered:

A. After 6,000 miles of past cooling problems, still absolutely no damage to piston no.3.

B. After a short 15 mile drive, (or maybe approximately 45 minutes of running), piston no. 3 is burnt toast.

C. Again, were pistons originally numbered and reinstalled in their original locations?
