I don't know about car vs. motorcycle engines, but I'm sure the 
principle is the same. I just recently put an 1170 top end on my 79 
KZ1000 with some BIG dome pistons. From the moment I had it running, it 
would spark knock under a load. I added octane booster to Sunoco 94 and 
that helped a little, messed with the timing to no avail. After less 
than 2 hours running time it developed a death rattle, so I tore it back 
down....3 of the four pistons were WASTED! Ringland was broke off in 
places, small parts of the rings were driven into the head, but there 
was NO valve or cylinder damage which tells me there were no parts 
hitting each other. I think it was detonation that destroyed the 
pistons. Sorry for the off-topic ramble, just thought it might help this 
discussion thread.
