Good luck with the new motor and be sure to have these installed:
1. Fuel Pressure Safety Switch
2. Colder plugs (NGK TR6's gapped @ .035-.038)
3. Window Switch.
4. WOT Switch.
5. Upgraded fuel pump (not needed but highly recommended)

I don't know much about engines, I am still fairly new at this game, but if you went lean on the hot plugs would it not have burned a ring or burnt a hole in the piston?? don't see how running lean would make the motor come apart. Maybe something just came apart in the bottom end. Either way, good luck on the new motor.
