Default Magnum engine issues, please tell me they are better than this!

looks like you did nothing wrong, just a $h*t happens got a bad one. micro fractured piston caused the crank to go which caused the skirt to go more which caused the crank to go more, you know the story then pop.
if you were in the UK you'd get a three day turn around, no idea over the pond.
We've had nothing like this here, nothing even aproaching a problem and its fair to say our club has some of the very first V1's and probably get more running than most. Other than the tunned MVVS 40's nothing we've seen here lasts better, tho we did kill a few 40's from over use, like i said, the 50's are still strong.
