Its a shame that a lot of pulled bearing sets are not carefully arranged in the right order and numbered correctly. Not being able to accurately track the cylinder positions of the worst affected bearings means that its difficult to spot any trend over time in this respect....maybe the worst affected bearings are in the cylinders at the end of the oil feed?
Edit: certainly cylinders #4 and #8 seem to feature more than the others - numbered correctly (and this is far from certain) these would be the cylinders at the back of the engine at the bulkhead furthest from the oil pump. (Cylinders 1-4 on the RHS, 5-8 on the LHS of the engine bay with 1 & 5 at the front IIUC).
