Is that a crack in a piston? it is a bit hard to make out what it is, but if its a piston, forget it, strip down and a new one is the only option, and find out why, or you will be doing it again.

This is a crack in the crankcase where the cap on the connecting rod slapped the wall. the second picture was taken from the cylinder head side looking inward. I didn't know if it would be possible to heliarc this crack with any sucess.
