I wonder if that fact it was not regularly driven lead to the failure. I bet you will find a bad injector over fueled overheating the piston which then melted... As the liquid aluminum dropped into the oil pan started burning the oil. There are not many cases of this but a few where injectors went bad which did in turn melted a piston.

I meant to take pictures of the engine as it is pulled apart. I suspect in the end they will take care of it but since you are not in the US they likely will drag their feet on it. Major repairs generally take an Ok from Ford and International. Since they both are sharing warranty costs for the 6.0 it does slow down the paperwork.
