Engine mods is a high stakes game, if you are in the game it comes with risk.
I would have thought completely different if it had been a completely stock motor that grenaded after an engine rebuild by a professional Porsche certified mechanic to stock.
sorry , just my opinion , I'm sure others wont agree.

There’s liability in the business of building engines and repairing cars there’s also a downside to getting paid $20,000 to rebuild a motor. It can be a high-stakes game for the shop as well If they did something wrong. It’s not all peaches and cream you want to get paid the big bucks to build motors there may also be circumstances like this where you get to chip in and help out. I’m certainly not recommending suing I’m recommending having a discussion with the shop and see what they may be willing to do to help. I may be naïve in thinking this but I feel that upon tear down the cause can be narrowed down.
