Update with a bit of mixed news. Ford has yet to respond to the dealership a request of what to do next. However I did find out that according to the dealership they did a compression check with 0% loss, they looked inside the cylinders and saw no damage, they cut the fuel injectors one by...

I'd be glad it covered with all those mods. you may have to foot the bill for them to drain the e85 and refill with 87. but its a small price to pay to have a new bottom end. did they even tear down your car before they arrived at the solution of a new short block?
