1) It could, but I would expect the piston to take a bunch of damage before hurting the bearings, and the bearing damage should show up on the upper bearing only. If there is signs of heat and the whole bearing is torn, it isn't because of the piston to head contact.

There is nothing wrong with reusing roller lifters, the link bar failure sounds like an odd one though.

What ultimately happened to the engine, total carnage?

As a race engine, few machine shops will warrantee them, and none should with used parts.
