I feel for both parties, But to my mind the following statement should negate any warranties that the engine supplier originally gave.
(This replacement motor arrived incomplete and was in such poor condition and was so poorly built that we stripped it to find undamaged parts from the two motors to try to create one that looked something like a $14,000.00 motor.)
They were however good enough to supply the parts neccessary to make the motor run.
The installation mechanic has some big b*lls to blame the engine supplier for not having the distributor in correctly.Who installed that 180 degree off dizzy ??
It is very difficult I think for an enginne supplier to warranty the motor when firstly it is commissioned by someone else who may or may not be the best installation tech!!
Having the dizzy 180 "out" is going to cause the motor to backfire profusely and depending on how long it took the installer to figure out that he had put the dizzy in wrong would contribute to damaging the motor!
Just my opinion
