Default F-250 trashed by mechanic, advice?

I am not sure where to post this,but here goes.I have a 2001 F-250 v-10,4x4.Blew out #5 spark plug for the second time.I took it to a local garage & had to replace head at a cost of $3500.00.They put in a new timing chain for $500.00 that I did not authorize.If it needed it I am ok with that.Now the problem.When they put it back together motor would not turn over.After running a scope the owner said they found something that should not have been in there.He did not say what.Owner said one of his employees admitted that he knew this and put it together anyway.Owner admits its on him,employee has been fired.He told us that head has been sent for repair & two new pistons.I drove to shop this to check on truck & it is sitting outside with entire front end off,Motor has been pulled & tore down.Block is all that is left.Parts are piled in back of truck & inside of cab.I need advice as to what I should look for & what I should do & expect.I guess what would you do?I am going to shop tommorow & it could get ugly.Thank for any advice.
