A piston head can melt due to excessive heat generated by factors such as pre-ignition, detonation, or insufficient cooling. Overheating can occur if the air-fuel mixture burns too rapidly or if the engine runs too lean. Additionally, poor lubrication can lead to increased friction, further raising temperatures. When the piston exceeds its material limits, it can begin to melt or warp, compromising engine performance.

How do you get the area of a piston?

To get the area of a piston, you need to measure the diameter or radius of the piston head and use the formula for the area of a circle (A = πr^2) where r is the radius of the piston head. Once you have the radius, plug it into the formula to calculate the area of the piston head.

Can you put a ktm 380 head on a ktm 250 or 300?

No. The bolts may line up to actually put the head on, however your horsepower is due to the matching of the piston head with the cylinder head to produce an even flame across the top of the piston. It is important that the radius on the piston matches the radius on the head. The head on the 380 will not match up to the 250 due to the larger piston volume of the 380 vs the 250 or 300.
