This info may not be available to you, but I'm wondering what "failed"?
Did they start burning oil? leaking oil? Rod thru the block? Engine knock?
But if you were not seeing them 1st hand you may not have been exposed to
that info --
A crank snapped on one, not sure about all of them - several never broke
in - the rings never seated and oil consumption was high.
