Scuff marks in the cylinder show that the engine was not shut off immediately when the fault (whatever it was?) appeared: http://www.lrforum.com/forum/uploads/monthly_01_2013/post-1170-0-35000500-1357764850.jpg

suggests it was seizing and getting mighty hot before piston and liner disintegrated.
It got hot enough for the wrist pin to slip sideways and drag on the cylinder wall before the piston melted completely. The grove is clearly visible. Looks like it's been driven without coolant until it would drive no more.

With both manifolds and the coolant rail removed it is fairly easy to fit the engine from below:

Bugger, didn't spot that you were in Norway. Guess I'll be under the bleddy thing again. I've been re fitting the prop since October
