Default Knocking after head swap

Had PRC stg 2.5 heads fitted, run the car on Sat & Sun it started making a
Bruuuddddeerrrr Ha ha sort of noise when under load, definetly not the valve train. Have been told by an Engine builder it sounds like a piston which could have cracked its skirt,not valve piston either, bloody thing sounds like a diesel.
My question: What is the best brand of LS1 Forged Pistons to buy & as i'm in N.Zealand who or what sponsor carries them.
Thanks guys, wayne.

why would swapping heads break a piston unless you had insufficent valve clearance?
