That's one that gets me... Bleeding cam chains.
Oh well you never need to replace the cambelt... Well yes that's true, but what happens when the plastic chain tensioners fail or the chain stretches.... Well it's a 5x more expensive job than simply a cambelt...
There's a damned good reason every car today doesn't run with a cam chain. Even the big and mighty BMW seemingly cannot get it right! The psa 16v diesels have a chain relay drive and that sometimes fails at high mileage...
