Makes me wonder when we would see similar retrofits for engines pointed out to be prone to valvetrain-related failures, such as some Fiat engines which used to be vulnerable to damage once the timing belt broke. I still remember when I was 5, and the Fiat Uno my parents used to own by then had a broken belt and there was some serious damage to that engine. Not to mention engines which are often pointed out to be harder to overhaul due to having a sealed timing chain such as Ford's Zetec-Rocam (which AFAIK used to be available in the USA as an industrial engine only).
