Wait... people are making car buying decisions over the location of the timing chain????
what am I missing here that of all the cars I've owned timing chain location has never been .... say.... in the top 100 things I care about. |
I don't understand what's difficult...serviceability will be a nightmare for tensioners, belts, timing chains and vanos. Obviously people who only lease won't care but I don't rent cars for the same reason I don't rent furniture or appliances. This and the fact that I would no doubt be tuned so if anything goes wrong, then I'd be stuck with a lot complications that I'd rather avoid.
