A variant of piston failure happened to me when I had a -81 300TDT.

Half the piston skirt had broken off so that the piston "tilted" a tad bit in the bore and made contact with the head on TDC.

Power was unaffected but it smoked a little and made some serious noises....
Drove it all the way home 300miles cause the whole car was a heap of junk anyways.
