id ask for a tech with more brains to give you a more accurate answer rather than some bs to try to avoid replacing the motor

better yet, ask them for proof that the limiter was disabled, and how they gathered that you went 129mph..
I would talk to a lawyer before anything else.
There are two possible scenarios here.

The techs are right and the engine blew due to an over rev and have just done a crappy job of saying what they found. Unfortunately the nature of the damage does appear to be this so it may be a rough fight to prove otherwise. The way it is written doesn’t make much sense though. Not sure what the disabled stuff is about at all.

The techs are making shit up to get out of warranty work. If this is the case going and talking to them again is not going to get you anyplace.

Dealerships get paid to do warranty work and do it every single day so there really is no reason for them to make up stories to avoid it.
