Why all the acting like engine damage due to a timing chain or belt failure is something new, when this possibility has been around for quite some time? Longer than the 25 years indicated The risk is born from pushing the envelope, so to speak, to get the best possible performance from an internal combustion engine. Like everything there is a trade off. An increase performance over most of the engine's life for adding a maintainence item, as well as the risk of destroying the engine if that maintainence is ignored or stroke of bad luck occurs. I have to think the record would reveal the trade off a positive one. Doug
