    It sure sounds like you had an oiling system failer more than improper cam lube. I could see you flatting a cam shaft but everything else that siezed leads me to believe something else failed. did you ever have an oil pressure reading? was the oil pump siezed, or broken. was the oil pickup tube still in place?
    i was kinda wondering the same thing later after i thought about it more, i wonder if the seized oil pump was the first problem and the rest followed

    thought about it some more again and realize that the main brgs would seize up long before the cam would go flat if you lost oil pressure.
