Agreed. That's not a conventional ailment with these motors. Timing chain wear perhaps, but after long mileage intervals or oil starvation issues.

Bolts working themselves loose indicate the head had some prior rebuilding performed but the torque specs were not followed.

Pretty rare...in fact, I don't believe I've read a thread like this one ever...
