I would like to see what the rest of that piston looks like. Looks like you have a pit on the bottom outer edge (this is where your head gasket was leaking) which might be much worse down the side of the piston. It definitely looks like a bad head gasket at least started your problems.
What is interesting is that my number 4 cylinder was the one that failed and the other people who have had head gasket issues with the bhw...that I have read about...also had their head gasket fail in the number 4 cylinder. Interesting trend.
Have you had a chance to look over the cylinder head? There will be some valves open as long as you have the cam in there by the way.
