Did your engine have any loud rattles (from the loose connecting rod) before it blew? Sometimes con rod bolts get over stressed on missed downshifts(over rev's) and let go that way.

I'm not totally sure on our lemon-laws either.

It all kind of happened at once, but yes there were loud rattles went the motor went. I didn't have any missed downshits, it happend on a subdued drive home on the free way after about 10 minutes of driving in top gear.
