Default warrior stroker piston damage question?

Her is some pics of my piston that i took out of my warrior cause of some piston slap and recently smoking. Is this from excessive heat and excessive slap from a oversized bore? Would I be better off running a oil cooler? any suggestion to help me put this thing back together?

Melted ring land??

Looks like a lean scuff to me. What did the plug look like?

Now I'm more sure than ever. Look at the picture in my profile. Look familiar? This is with a blower so it really cooked the piston.
Was it popping on top end?

your best bet in finding out exactly how to do is go to yfm350central.com and talk to them i think they have a sticky on it to take you through the steps, or contact recon99 on this site i think he did it to his warrior he had, but its best to actually look at it that way then me telling you, but i think you bolt the cooler up near you ign. coil and then theres 2 lines that tap into your right side case if im correct.
