Unfortunately warrantying short blocks is very hard to do, especially so far down the line. We definitely stand behind our work and in the event that a short block of ours was to fail due to assembly we would definitely repair or replace it, but a failure like that would occur almost immediately. In our experience most short block failures are caused by lack of oiling, overheating, detonation, or other abuse. Sounds like yours had a rough life before you got it...
