Exactly that. Obviously with pinking there is detonation at the wrong point, which may stress the bearings. Then with the additional compression after a head gasket repair it is enough to finish them off.

How often did the cars with the bearing shells change oil and oil filter ?
Shimmy for example ?

No, about 5-6000 miles (my service intervals are a bit shorter than that)

If you're changing your connecting rod bearing shells try VAC coated bearings, or EPIC treated bearings and use ARP studs.
