I had a look at your stripped down engine on Monday and it was fairly rooted...I'm sure Neil pointed out the number of other issues apart from the obvious. Basically it was never rebuilt properly. I think getting rid of it is reasonable rather than fighting over the cost of a fix/new engine. Personally I would be pursuing the $5k shortfall...and also make sure I removed any extras I put on the car...eg swap back standard exhaust for the upgraded one you put in.
All in all a sad story....this has cost you $ and time through no fault of yours. Good luck!
