There IS one case where you can be "fortunate" to have an engine come apart.
That is: One has a 60,000 mi powertrain warranty. Engine explodes AT 59,900 miles.
You ARE FORTUNATE to get a NEW engine for free NOW rather than having to pay for a new engine if had happened 200 miles later.
(I know your case is different, but similar)
THAT is the point they were making. You had a latent defect and it revealed itself while still under warranty rather than after.
So now you will have a car with 65,000 miles and a brand new engine.
I would rather have that than a car with 65,000 miles and a latent defect that could surface at any time.
