Would I have any recourse from cp if it was a wrist lock failure?

theyll most likely tell you it was an installation error.

but i think you should talk to your "professional" engine builder...

I need to pull the motor and kinda busy with work and exams at the moment. Will have it out in say a week.

But I've searched the net and there are many similar examples to mine which seems to be heat or lubrication related.

You need to at least call them asap. Better get the conversation started.
