Do you think the piston swelled? Is a simple top end job enough to fix it or are there other things I need to look for that could have been damaged?

I burned mine down a few years ago running with no coolant. And I do mean NO coolant. I pulled the water pump cover and it was dry in there. It got so hot it turned the spark plug blue outside the head. In fact, here is a pick of my wrist pin...
All I had to do was a top end and I've put another 75 or so hours on it since then. It's been fast and reliable.
