I've had an 8V turbo engine die on me a few years back. It had some 230K miles on it and the reason for it's death was a blocked oil feed channel inside the block to piston #3, causing it to overheat and warp. It happened while driving up a long hill, with the engine under stress. Unbeknownst to me at the time, the turbo unit was in the process of shredding, which more than likely was the source of the blockage with a piece of metal or carbon finding it's way up through the oil passage system. Past an oil filter? I don't know, but I can't think of any other reason for the blockage to happen.
