wow, never heard that.. Are you sure they were all the right size? also was the cam for the motor? Not trying to cut you down or anything, just curious of facts.
I just reused the cam bearing on my 6.0 I just rebuild and Im not real worried about them.

Welcome, and sorry to hear about the problem, its not common at all. in fact your the first i have heard with this problem.
Do you know what your injector duty cycle is? they have to be beyond maxed out.

44's will help, 80% is when you want to plan for bigger. I wouldnt doubt the failure is from going lean
