A difficult situation when this happens.
Regarding the engine builder & putting it right for nothing, I'll be amazed if that happens. I've known toooooo many engines to let go and the ONLY ones that will receive any form of compassion or financial reward are the ones that have a good bond & a close relationship with the builder/tuner.
Trouble being that many engine builders are governed by customers budgets.
A 500 Bhp lump seems the figure that many want at the moment and there are probably over 1000 combinations of achieving that power ranging from a few grand to 30 grand.
If poor assembly can be proven they may not have an option ? as it's often component failures that cause the issue.
