Sometimes you have to take the opportunity to do something different than your day to day, willingly lose against the clock to learn something to help you do better in the future.
Technician
The balance shaft chain was a dead giveaway on that engine. Sounds like a lifter failed and wiped the cam, usually happens on the V8s, but I have heard of a time or two on the 6. First time I had to do a VLOM on that and found out I had to pull the oil pan to get it off I was rather grumpy. Bad repressed memories there. Anyhow, it's always good to stretch one's abilities, so good for you for tackling something new.
Technician
Jay, there are several issues: cheap parts like Paul mentioned, weak plastic retainer trays that wear and allow the lifters to rotate in the bore (nearly instantaneous camshaft wipeout on a roller lifter cam), constantly cycling internal parts that wear out, and variations in oil pressure and consistency from lack of maintenance coupled with all of the above.
