That was a good tear down, one thing he was sure of was the pcv system was not functioning, my guess just a pcv. You see the vacuum on the filter as well, plus not good lubrication strategy. Interesting how good the general condition was the appeared to be high mileage engine. This was a case where perhaps if they had a good pcv and a good oiling strategy this would have not died. Plus kinda suggests synthetic oil is the way to go without saying it outright.
Yep, it was also nice to see the bearings and such survived the wiped lifters/cam. I know he mentioned the mains were a bit meh, but that could have just been from high miles. It might mean the lifter/cam wipeout truly doesn't affect the rest of the engine all that much.
It was funny to see none of the exhaust studs broken, though
