582 Big End

Recently 3 x 582 engines lost the needle roller big end bearing, pilot side. All in the Cape. 2x Blue and 1x silver. Resulting in damage through out the engine. Is this a weak point and any others out there?

A good bet for accommodation is the Swellendam Backpackers. Good accommo(R120), food, drinks, wood fire all night in extensive gardens.
