I wouldn't get to wound up about the warranty, not that whatever they did couldn't have caused the problem but proving it is near impossible. Seems like every time you tighten up the top end on an old engine the bottom end lets go. The original block in my truck succumbed the same fate, blew a rod right out the side after a valve job, new pushrods, springs.

Go to sleep thinking about the crate engine and as for the greasy hunk o metal in your truck...fugheddaboutit!
