Seems funny given it takes 8 hours minimum to change them. And a "new" engine is $12-$15K installed.
If it is engine out, and you select the shells to exactly meet your clearance target, then use OE, VAC, King, ACL etc. The quality of the material is not in question. The clearance is. Why chance it where there is so much good scientific information available? I just do not get it.
Oh well, my saddle horse has died...

Some people seem literally obsessed with proving the unprovable. With explaining that regular production tolerances are 'good enough' vs 100% inspection.
It blows my mind. Really.
As I don't pull engines when doing rod bearings I won't do a job unless it uses BE bearings.
