Piston in full rear position could just be because you didn't fire it a few times on semi after firing it on automatic.

You shouldn't be using a 1/2 tooth piston unless you've got the proper gears for them. Do you see any piston teeth wear or damage? If you do, the teeth on the sector gear might have meshed with the 1/2 teeth in such a way as to retard the movement of the sector gear, which increased the stressed on all the gears and damaged the pinion.

I was told that Deep Fire only makes good piston and their other parts are rather unreliable. You might want to avoid their piston head in the future. A good polycarb piston head should be able to handle a M120, or at the very least not fail so rapidly and disasterously.
