My MUni has an old Yuni frame with the pressed bearing holders. I noticed with 40mm bearings that the bearing housings only contacted the bearings in two places, never had bearing problems but went through 5 sets of square taper cranks. I replaced my wheel about a year ago to one built up around a NImbus ISIS hub and find that the bottom brackets seem to fit better on the 42mm bearings and the top half still had only two contact points.
Had my wheel off the other day and the bearings are still perfect.

FWIW, I "machined" out the 40mm bearing holders on my nimbus 36 to 42mm. It destroys bearings. I don't recommend doing it.
