I think that damage is detonation, caused by pre-ignition , caused by the cylinder getting too hot, caused by the lack of cooling around the head!
It is absolutely crucial to use a torque wrench. Over tightening can cause the head to warp - it's only soft alloy!
You were damn lucky by the sounds of it, so buy a new piston and a new tool to rebuild it with!
