I'm gonna guess Balance shaft failure. Did you replace the belt, bearings, etc with the oem rebuild?

Several things could be the factor. Tune, improper build, no oil, etc.

If that was the balance shaft, and the bearings were replaced, was it 100% verified the oiling hole was lined up?

Who built it. I don't think that happens randomly with no rhyme or reason.

I agree with the above comments...talk to the engine builder. I doubt that will be a quick resolution for you, though, which makes it bad for you since this was your only vehicle.
