Based on some of the severe AOS failures i'd suggest removing the green plastic cam plugs and check for timing and rotation.

Apparently you want more. There are a several weak links in the cam drive system that can fail, but let's look at what happened to you. A previously healthy AOS fails after spin, not unlikely as oil accumulates in head from centrifugal force and overwhelms AOS, but this happens to a running engine. You say you restarted and a continuous smoke cloud ensues. How hard was the engine stop? A weak link in this scenario is the tang that drives the oil scavenge pump. If oil is not being pumped from the head the AOS also fails. Continuous smoke cloud. I'd certainly look here.
