by the size of the nut, the torque spec is about right(actually very conservative)... are you sure your torque wrench isnt in need of calibration? got your hardware stacked correctly on the shaft? any burrs or such on splines? a 1 ton compressive load shouldnt even phase a steel gear that's mounted correctly....

If you are talking about the left hand thread on the nut on the starboard side of the crankshaft, the one that holds the gear that drives the clutch and cam chain, I do not understand what shattered the cam sprocket.
Unless there was a piece of debris behind it when you torqued it.

can you post a decent pic of the remains? preferably both sides, and edge shots of the break? about the only reasonable explanation (assuming all parts were installed correctly) is the gear was defective... if the steel was burnt during the tempering process,or if it was hardened but never drawn(glass hard thoughout), it could conceivably shatter under torquing.... if the shaft hole was improperly machined, torquing could split or crack the gear.... i guess if you immobilized the shaft by using one of the gear teeth to lock it, you could maybe have gotten it to "cant" on the shaft while torquing....
