That is pretty good, but I still think Chrysler can top the charts for belt stupidity as well. Intrepid (3.3L or 3.5L...can't remember which) Had the timing ~BELT~ enclosed in a metal housing with the water pump...on an interference motor. The water pump was also very prone to failure. Pump fails...belt slips...piston meets valve....~ping~. New motor needed because your water pump failed.
