Well, at this point it doesn't really matter what cause it, the engine is completely toast. You've now got the opportunity to build it from the ground up, so you'll want to start reading up on others and their efforts at such complete rebuilds and take notes so you're not guessing when the day comes to drop in the next bullet.

If it locked up while pull starting it, then chances are that at least one housing and one rotor are toast. I usually pick up replacements (used) and throw them in. A couple hundred bucks and you're back on the road again...
