UPDATE**
So I dropped it off at the dealer.
They are replacing the heat shield in the engine bay and going over the entire car to make sure all the bolts and everything has been put back in order, torqued, etc. etc. like they should've done in the first place.
I asked why only the short block was replaced, they said the heads and everything else has been thoroughly cleaned before putting the new short block in and nothing else was needed. Expressed what I believe to be going on and basically told them I want a refund for the OCV I originally paid for the first time that the warranty didn't cover. The service manager told me they will look everything over and as long as its a fault of their own or because of contamination it's a possibility. I understand he can't jump to conclusions and just refund money until they inspect it so I told the service manager this and basically told him they need to do the job right, I'm not coming back again. Hopefully, this is the last time. They are accommodating giving me another loaner car (third one) while they fix this, I really hope they do me right this time.

I kind of agree with you about contamination. I've spun a lot of bearings over the years and I've never had top end issues after rebuilding. But it does seem odd that you are suddenly having other problems. There must be a connection.

That's the best part, normal driving! lol. I was on my way to work, cruise set at 65-70mph and out of no where...BANG!
Wasn't low on oil, just did an oil change a few thousand miles previous and I check regularly (I once had a problem with a car loosing oil and I've been paranoid since). Never ran low. Once I did a burn out at about 45k miles for maybe 15 seconds. Never redlined.
I never beat on the car, I treat it better than my girlfriend now that I think about it
