It cold be tulipping of valves, detonation of pistons in engine etc. Best to find a small camera to look inside and do a compression test. It may have done pre ignition/detonation that can happen and burn a hole in piston as well as burn the sides of the pistons and damage the walls which would require an overhaul. But if you can find a camera that can go down plug hole lot easier than doing a teardown.
