If those check out ok then you may have blown a crank seal.
What did the spark plug look like, color?
Any marks on the piston skirt?
Did the engine run ok when you first fired it up or was the rpm way high?
Were the carb jets clean?
Was the fuel mix fresh?
Was the new piston furnished to the shop doing the bore job at the time the bore was done or was it ordered after the bore job was done?

It can happen due to over heating, poor fit, incorrect ring end gap, a lean condition or by not allowing the new top end to properly warm up before running the hell out of it. You see, engines that have a sleeve in them take more time to warm up and really don't transfer the heat as well as the OEM plated cylinder does and thus you have different expansion rate between the piston, rings and the sleeved cylinder. This difference will cause this type of issue.
I would suggest going back to an OEM plated cylinder.

The Shop
DeCal Works Huge Plastic Inventory of UFO and Polisport kits.
Luxon 4-Post Bar Mounts
$189.95 - $239.95
Exhaust port bridge should also be relieved a bit on steel lined cylinders.
A few photos of the bad piston would be nice.

cld i have to much compression?
Oil in the gas?
Oil holes in the piston?

Here's a picture for an idea.

If so, clearance sounds tight. Wiseco (forged) pistons need a little extra clearance as they expand a bit differently under heat.
Is the bore good and straight, minimal taper from top to bottom ?
thanks to everry one for all the info
