Yes it was owned by an 82yr old guy and I don't think he drove it much in the last 3yrs he owned it (only 5,000km), and I reckon that it sat for long periods and that would have allowed seals and o'rings to dry and perhaps deteriorate and crumble?

Anyway I've decided to err on the side of caution and replace the variocam tensioners and timing chain tensioners just to be safe, along with the IMS bearing of course.
