What exactly do you mean by the engine 'blew'. It depends on the failure. Was it damaged by low/no oil pressure? Is it knocking? (caused by main bearings bad; engine knock). Did a connecting rod break and damage the block? Was it overheated causing damage? Engine failures can be caused by many things. I am not taking the dealer side but it may not have been anything they did to cause your trouble.
