A plugged carburetor jet will cause that.--------No fuel going into #2 also means NO OIL !!

Gotta fix the problem ..not the result. Most causes for these damages are the idle stabilizer,mounted on top of carbs if still equipped. Need a pic of piston to see if preignition ,detonation or lean issue.
