It would be more time at higher RPM multiplied by dirty oil that would do it in. We are just seeing EVOs cross 60k miles now so we dont have a lot of data to run with. But we do know of a couple that have jumped timing. Both had the triangle warning light on for a while that got ignored. I dont know of any first hand that jumped or failed without warning.

We have also changed a few chains and guides on motors that were apart at over 30k for upgrade or other repair reasons. As in the motor is all apart and might as well do it now that the labor is free so to speak.
