How the hell do you blow up a Stelvio in the first place....and what is a "hydrolock" only affecting the right cylinder?!?

Has anyone here seen hydrolock damage in real life.? Does it have the appearance of a lose debris denting the piston crown?
I have seen bad gas destroy a motor. It was a heavily modified Subaru WRX, that had high compression pistons and the turbo pressure was bumped up. The 'bad gas' did not have the octane needed to prevent extreme detonation, or worse, pre-ignition, when he turn on full boost pressure. It shattered most of the ring lands.OR, more likely, the WRX engine was just ready to explode from too much boost, and the gasoline was blamed for the problem.Either way, the same gasoline in other cars at that station was fine in unmodified motors.As for what a hydraulic lock looks like, it will bend or break rods, maybe break the crank. Maybe even separate the cylinder from the crankcase. But the top of the piston will likely still look perfect unless it maybe cracks the piston. And it is damn near impossible to get a fuel injector to squirt enough fuel to hydraulic lock it.
'bad gas' will not cause a 2cylinder bike with a single throttle body feeding both cylinders to blow up on one side only. poppycock
