Now you tells us!

Quick answer?     THATS the reason for your failure!!!!!!

Even I won't stoop that cheap.....  Bearing Journals must be polished with a 
WET STONE!! [  use a crank shop ]

Anything less and you're asking for pre-mature failure...

You can use a 600-1000 grit  Emorycloth to clean off  rust / 
residue.......but never to polish....never dry..

The 1st build..if done this way.....with tight bearing clearances...thin 
oil.......3000+  rpm while going down the highway with very few miles.......Even I 
wouldn't touch that with YOURS!!!  LOL!!
