Being mindful that 3/4's of those gears are now mixed in with your oil and just waiting to make friends with your bearings and cylinder walls.

You only got 1200 miles before suffering from a reasonably serious failure. I think the engine builder should step up to the plate regardless of what your paperwork may or may not say.  Give them the opportunity to take the high road and let us know if they choose to take it.
