I have also only heard of a few engine blows, but nothing correlating them to the rod-bearings.
I've seen more than one but the most recent that comes to mind is Brooklyn Mark's car. He had a VT2-600 then upgraded to 650, never got the ESS 'upgraded rod bearings' -- had a catastrophic rod bearing failure, the post says it all, with pic for dramatic effect.
