Hmm, not sure about that. The problem for me is that they can fail despite being well maintained. Take good care of something like a 90s BMW straight six and you can be pretty confident it will keep on trucking. I'm not convinced there's much correlation between IMS failure and maintenance, for instance.

On the contrary, immaculately maintained examples seem just a susceptible, if not more so.
