Failure: Bearing in cylinder #4

Is Dealership Offering Repair: Dealer is looking for used engine to quote a replacement, but not paying for repair. Toyota Canada refusing as well. Wondering if there are any steps beyond complaining and raising hell. Really disappointed in Toyota customer relations...

Also, it looks like my car did about 3000km before taking a crap, according to the dealer. I should note that my driving pattern has been home -> daycare -> work, work -> daycare -> home, with ten minute stop-n-go trips to each stop. That possibly extended the life of the bearing, allowing it to cool down while parked at daycare. Saw crap in my oil pickup mesh as well
