A note on mistimed engine failures - to me it’s good when they design the rocker arms to work like “fuses”. A lot less cleaning up after a belt fails. Some of the eighties/nineties Peugeot in-line fours had cam caps that fractured instead. Nice idea but the spares weren’t really available and used parts would be likely to need line boring - so the rocker arm weak points were a real step up…
The original was probably European made, possibly Mahle, but it failed at 178,000 km. And apparently it's a far from rare occurrence.
