Yea I see a big problem!!! Your missing the head!!! Just 
sheting ya,,,,Looks like you may have a bad head gasket....sucking coolent and getting some washing...did you do a compression test? Also is there any scaring? If not you should be go to go....

If not you should be go to go....i see lean wash on mag side?? im thinking jetting/coolant like stated above but could be carb... and yes the pistons are very close.. something broke!!!! rod/pin my guess would be leaned out and stuck the piston and "snap"!
crankshaft?
Is the crank snapped? or twisted? Looks like the pistons are too high in the bore to be aligned if everything underneath is still ok.

busted con rod.. I am guessing
Definatly looks like either a pin, pin boss on the piston, or con rod let go. Pretty wild to see that with the pistons sitting so nice in the holes though...the last time I had a pin boss let go it was an ugly, ugly site when we lifted the head off.
Not a good deal either way. How'd it break?

Crank slippage!
This engine has about 10 minutes run time since rebuild with rebuilt crank, new pistons, etc. The crank has slipped out of phase. It still ran on the mag side, that is why there is a difference in piston top coloration. Engine ran great when first started, then got to running kinda crappy like a fouled plug. Ran worse and worse until it only ran on one. Had good compression on both cylinders. Kinda tough to diagnose at first. Then I just sat there and played with it, rotating it by the clutch and feeling for compression when I noticed that compression was occurring a bit too close in the rotation of the crank. Anyway, gotta tear it down and start over.
