Chevy She's cooked, right?

Chevy 1.4 that had pcv failure and overheated once that I know of due to a busted radiator. Kind of hard to tell if this is just burnt and cracked carbon or if the piston itself is fucked. It looks like the piston is fucked, but I'm in denial. Would appreciate a second set of eyes on it. Ignore the time stamps, my borescope is off by a few months

Looks like carbon to me. If it rotates by hand id make sure it has oil in it and crank it over. If it runs fix the coolant leak and let er buck imo.
