Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't having a high silicon content a bad thing?
Higher silicon content would make the metal more brittle and less ductile wouldn't it?

As far as I'm concerned high silicon content is a good thing. It means the piston will have less thermal expansion, which in turn means the piston and rings will seal more effectively for more of the time and get less piston rock and slap. It also makes the surface a harder wearing which means the rings do not wear the ring lands like can happen in low silicon versions.
By High Silcon I mean about 8%, this is significantly less than all the hiper eutectic pistons you see being sold for high performance work that are all 15% plus.
