Default Brand new and major problems

Hello all. I'm brand new to the forum, and to BMW. The long and the short of it my 2011 S1000RR with 630 miles grenaded and threw the rod in the number 1 cylinder out the front of the case. I had put an Akropovic Evo system and a PC V on it after the 600 mile check when they unlocked the rev limiter. I was having it Dyno tuned and it exploded on the machine. My local dealer seems to be persuing making it the Dyno shops fault, and therefore not warrantied. Hoping that doesn't happen, (they video the runs and turning the throttle was all they did) how long does getting an engine take? The engine let go at 12500, and the dealer service tech believes it was timing as there were valve shims in the oil pan. Looking to get a new engine, break it in, and do it all over for a mid Dec track day. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Before you took it in you should have taken the PCV off and return it to stock.

I hope everything works out with the dealer?

Yeah, I kind of had a similar issue on my former Daytona 675 where it spun a rod bearing due to low oil while I was at the track, flogging the daylights out of it. Low oil was due to incorrect dipstick (not me!) reading and Triumph's incorrect recommended amount of oil to fill at changing (Triumph sent out service bulletins to address both issues). Before taking the bike to the dealer, I put it back to 100% stock form and even took some used oil I still had and topped off bike to make sure it was full. I was hoping to get a brand new engine, but instead, I got a 100% rebuilt engine done by the dealer, all 100% covered by warrantee. Lets just say that I tend to check oil levels at least twice during a trackday and at least daily for street riding.

The dealer that service my bike advise me to keep all the major stock parts so it can be put back to stock. Just in anything major happens.
