Moving forward I'll make sure to try and preserve some amount of tooth in all teeth when correcting AOE. It makes sense that it would be less stress to have something to dig into.
It should be noted that both pistons when set up were showing no signs of teeth wear but as soon as the high speed gears got a hold of them the wear started. So no doubt it's related to the new gears somehow.

Just remember than all parts wear out. It's just how long it takes before it becomes apparent. In your case, the high ROF is revealing the issue very early.
Agree that for the black piston, the pickup tooth was weak and it was pulled off.
And agree you might have been overcorrecting the AOE too much. Got any pics of the piston and gearsets together?
