the Belgian EX

In short, I bought my EX 400 two months ago. After 1 day off-road the engine broke down! Had to go to a 450 cc cylinder with a lot of new stuff in the engine (piston, distribution chain, ...). This was done by a official Honda dealer. Got the bike back yesterday and this costed me 1.000 € (1.100 $).
Did my first test drive today and guess what happened... after two hours of really easy going, the engine started to make a lot of noise and oil and smoke came out of it. More specific between the top part and the main cylinder. I don't think there is major damage but can anyone tell me what could have happened? Could it the bolts? I will have to go back on monday and I am seriously considering of selling the thing! What would you do and what should I do?
