I will not return my parts to someone (even on their dime) if they already proved they couldn't get it right the first time. These fundamental errors were there from the start.

I have not contacted the shop. I know myself to well as to the action I might take if the result was not satisfactory so I choose not to.
Are you saying that you haven't even contacted Ryan about this now-public issue and his first knowledge of it will probably be reading it on here?
I think what the OP is saying is that the mistakes made are just flat stupid, and the fact the motor was put together like that seriously undermines the OP's ability to trust anything the builder could do to make things right. I had issue as well with the same builder over several different things with work i had done, but its water under the bridge now.
I give the OP a ton of credit for correctly pointing out what he did.
