lack or lubrication not enough oil, or too much internal sludge WHAT I HAVE ALWAYS SEEN WAS THE CAM BEARINGS TURN AND WELD THEMSELVES
TO THE CAM SHAFT AND SEIZ UP ( QUITS ROTATING ) BRAKES T-CHAIN
CAUSE-- NO LUBRICATION. YOU HAVE PROBLEMS TIME TO OVERHAUL
Belts wear out over time and chains will break from lack of lubrication.
im a ase cert tech. your 2.7 has a timing chain not a belt with the chain you will sometimes here a ticking noise coming from the eng on a belt yes they can snap in a instant no warning at all. this is why you should replace the timing belts every 60k to 90k miles.
i had a 106 and the timing belt came loose , it came off and wrecked the timing of the engine causing it to destroy its self . i presume it will be the same effect if it did snap .
The Rover v6 has 3 timing belts (cam belts) they must be changed every 90000kilometers, if the belts snap you will have to replace all 24 valves, Do not forget to replace the idler pulley as well.
On a 1995 Ford Taurus : Both the 3.0 and 3.8 litre V6 engines have a timing CHAIN. The 3.4L in the Gen2 SHO has a timing belt that must be replaced at 100k miles. The engine pictured above is in a Gen3(`96-`99) and the cam shafts tend to snap next to the lobes. when I buy one to keep for a while, I pull the cams and have my machinist weld gussets between the shaft and lobes, and balance them.

rent a snap on mt-2500 from spunrod.com
A car's timing belt can start to melt and snap if it is fitted too tight. Most timing belts should have a half turn of play on them.
you take snap ring pliers and pinch it in then pull it out
it causes to crackle snap and poo
