Um, no. See accurate comment upthread from Classtraveller. It's easy to tell by looking at them. Nearly all CX pax 744s have completely closed engine covers (remind me of hair dryers, not unlike the engines on 343s). These are RR engines, and are original CX aircraft. The ones from SQ have open covers for bypass, they look very different. These are P&W engines, IIRC.
My bad...in the data...
(I checked with Wikipedia and Boeing - the actual number is 4.)

Let's just say that it is your "excuse" in framing me on something like this out of nowhere.
My hatred against CX is one matter. They have maintenance issue is another matter.
And personally, if my goal is too smear CX, I can simply create a story out of nowhere to do so. But in fact, my involvement to those incidents (or CX Bad News) is commenting on them. So do you really think my hatred affect CX or CX should look at where they stand now?
Remember - my word is worthless - unless they are really the true. And seriously, do you work for OW or CX?

1. Swire owns HAECO.
2. HAECO does aircraft maintenance for CX.
3. It is not news that HAECO is pissed because of Swire's treatment.
4. If there is any major issues with 744s, Boeing/FAA/JAA will advise airlines for attention. But so far, there is none.
So if it is not Boeing, not RR/PW, then who else do you think should be responsible?
Ah yes, your numerous/ smear of cx is absolutely worthless, I am for sure will keep flying cx and their routes that operates by their 744. I am sure millions others will continue to do so.
Creating story? Not sure if that's really wise.
And any evidence of that to pt 3? It's not made up, I hope
