Pistons, even #7 cyl do not just grenade like that. If there isnt a cam there but at least any sort of aftermarket/local tuning done to the car, thats my vote, too much timing/not enough fuel.

But yes id make it a Xmas ordiment but at the same time, you need to find a branch stout enough to hold it.

Looks like you were getting a decent amount of blow-by in that area of the piston
