fast strike powerhead.....searching for a faststrike 175

lost a piston on my faststrike 150.can anybody recommend a reman company. whats my best option. would repower with faststrike 175 if anybody out there has one.what should I look for as root cause of piston meltdown on one cylinder.bottom right cylinder if looking at cylinder heads

Dirty carb or water leak on the cylinder head will over heat a cylinder and cause it to fail. Hop knows a place that is real good on these motors.
