She's alive!
Now the bike is back in one piece with a new stator (most likely unnecessarily replaced) and a new piston (gives more grunt).
When the piston was removed, I did not feel any radial play in the bearings. The conrod could be moved +/- 2 mm sideways; dunno if that's allowable or not.
Having emptied the coolant and flushed the crankcase with 2-stroke gas, I filled the crack with gas and let it evaporate over time to leave an oil film on the surfaces. Time will tell if there's any damage...
Thank you for help and information!
