Sure, they simplify the head casting a lot, but I don't like how they rely on pushing a spinning valve with a stationary pin. Not as dumb as nissan eVTC "Hey let's retard the exhaust cam by dragging it against the timing cover with a clutch", but pretty dumb. But hey, maybe I'm just insane, they're pretty reliable on most makes, wear hasn't shown itself to be a problem and they're easy to service, so I can just shove my lunatic ramblings up my ash I guess...

something-something, recommended serviceable life... similar reasons they no longer intentionally overbuild motors like they did with the 2jz.
