I had a similar failure last year on mine. The connecting rod on the mag side broke in half. I am still gathering all the parts I need.

One hell of a malfunction! How did the top end fair? Shouldnt be to hard to find a complete bottom end and use whats usable.

Most likely the cylinder just above the damage has broken off the exhaust skirt. Then the next rotation of the crank pushes the skirt through the block. Have you pulled the cylinder to inspect?
