Some are easier to change than others, but if the engine (chain for timing) is serviced properly, they are usually not as reliable. Most timing belts are run dry, I believe.

Had a lawn mower with a Honda engine & wet timing belt. It seemed to work Ok, but you must remember it is a more or less fixed RPM engine & if the belt did break it would be MUCH less work to replace than on a multi-cylinder car engine.

“The fact engine exhaust is hot tells us it still has a lot of energy left in it, but we just allow it to blow out the exhaust pipe because to expand it further would take a bigger engine with a longer expansion stroke.”

Many modern engines are turbocharged.
