fortunately no. The rings around it held it together well + the crack was actually small.
The good news is, I found the exact piston for the exact cylinder, brand new at my local parts shop. Was a really nice guy and old it to me at 30% discount (in comparison to online prices). So I got that going for me.
As far as going through the rest of the engine, I've replaced almost all seals (along with valve stem seals), a bunch of pipes as well. The Transmission mount was kind of worn so we replaced that as well.
So parts and labour will cost a little over 1800$ in total. which isn't too bad.
