The VW V10 tdi engine also does away with timing belts and even a timing chain, this is from the site about the engine:
"A torsional vibration damper on the crankshaft is of a viscous pattern and occupies a space only 24 millimeters—less than an inch—deep. Adding to the compact engine design is a helical-cut spur gear train at the flywheel, replacing the typical timing chain or toothed belt. Keeping everything adequately lubricated is a duplex oil delivery pump and two scavenger pumps that operate reliably even at the extreme angles sometimes encountered during off-road maneuvers." I want one.
