The caps may not have been properly torqued, wrong size bearings, or too much play in the crank will cause a bearing to spin. I have seen it a few times on motors remanned from Cummins.

A nitrous back fire should be seen more so on your pistons and rod bearings but if it was hard enough it is possible put a slight bend in the crankshaft that would take out a bearing.

How much oil clearance was on the mains. I have heard that some of the stroker cranks will flex on the 2 and 4 mains in high hp engines and sometimes require .0035"-.004"+ oil clearance.

If your engine had an increase in blow by the damage was done then. When the crank has to work to overcome the pressure of a bearing trying to spin it increases the cylinder pressure on the rings that is where the extra blow by came from.
