A lot of the problem seems to be that people only replace the rod on the bearing that spun.

If the bearings were in bad enough shape that one of them actually spun in the bore I would worry that other rods were out of round as well. All six rods should be checked for roundness if you ever have to replace the crank.

Just anecdotally, how many people spun bearings and are not on stock rods anymore?
