People say timing belt failure, but my guess is the belt never is the root cause.

Cam gears wear through the anodizing and starts searing off teeth from misalignment.

Water pumps fail.

Idler pulleys fail.

Shoulder bolt bends.

Tensioner fails (likely in the too tight direction, which damages one of the above)
