cam bearings out of its place...

i've seen in some engines this has happened... cam bearings went or moved out of its place, why would this happen? then engine just die. would this happen just because of wearing issues? any input thanked in advance.

if its a new motor it was either installed incorrectly, was the wrong part, wasn't broken in properly before someone beat the **** out of it or all of the above

One of the key reasons to ALWAYS make sure your engine shop has experience with Gen 3 and above engines. They are a totally different animal vs. gen 1/2 engines! A very common mistake for a gen 1 builder with no experience with Gen 3 and above.
