Oh yea it sure could.
Ok, I mistyped a little. I meant to say piston landing, not skirt. The skirt is the bottom of the piston, our pistons tend to chip off the top area, right above the first ring.
The guy helping you work on the car sounds like he knows cars in general. Which is good/bad. The boosted 3800 like anything else has specific things that usually happen and other things that simply never happen.
Our motors aren't known for buring valves, head gaskets (probably got a better chance of being struck by lightning), while our heads often crack between the valves, it's unlikely that you are seeing any fallout from it.
By getting a scope in the cylinder, you will be able to see if the piston is chipped, might see a crack between the valves etc.
