I then finally took it to a specialist (should have in the first place) who told me the bolts weren't torqued to spec and they were coming off from vibration. Finally it looks like it's fixed and done right, but the specialist shop also noticed glitter in the oil filter and I had to redo my rod bearings. Had I driven for 500 miles, the bearings would have spun.
Lesson learned, pay the extra in labor to someone who actually knows what they are doing.

At the moment, the dealership will be taking care of this. They're pretty well known in my area for dropping built motors in for people. I have been there many times with my car for other things. I used to use an indy shop until they stained my new leather seat and gave me the run around, which pissed me off to no end.
