Motorcycle Repair: evo rebuild, adjustable pushrods, worst case scenario

Question
Hi,

I have a 96 Road King.  I bought it from a Harley dealer 3 months ago.  It's been at an indy shop for the about 3 weeks.  It developed a "knock" and at first it was thought it might be the compensator nut was loose but further inspection revealed that the crankshaft was worn and one piston was banging around loose and also metal shavings got into the cylinders scoring them and the pistons.  I think the recommendation was crankshaft rebuild, bore the cylinders, and new pistions and whatever work needed to complete the job.  
  The dealer I bought it from is looking at it now as I don't think I could've done this myself in 2.5 months/3000 miles.  I always made sure there was oil in the bike and tried to follow proper procedure for warming the bike up.  Could I have caused that kind of damage in 2.5 months?  The dealer sold me it "as is" but Washington state has some liberal laws for the consumer so that they can't sell me something that is on the verge of breaking down even if they aren't aware of it.  I'm planning for the worst case scenario though and wondering what your opinion is and if it would be worth it to ship the torn down motor to your shop for a rebuild and maybe some slight performance mods.  I'm looking for someone with a good rep and you seem to have it.

Oh, the motor had 62k on it, supertrapp exhaust, se air cleaner, adjustable pushrods and a performance cam.

Thanks!

Sounds like the rod was getting ready to go out when you bought the bike. Its nothing they could have known until it went out. SO you didnt do anything to make it go out in the 2.5 months you had it.
I rebuild motors from all over the country. I can ship it completly rebuilt and all you hav eto do is set it in, or I can do the bottom end and you install and put the top end in.
The best thing to do is either call me or e-mail me and we can discuss what needs to be done and cost and what mods you want done.
