Maybe not.. looks like the oil passages are in the timing cover.
This shows nothing different to any other Aluminium (Aluminum in US English) timing cover I have seen.

Plus, anything causing issues here would end up in the sump or oil filter, not cam controllers. If this wasn't the case, far more catastrophic failures would be occurring - connecting rod bearing clearance is 0.025 to 0.055mm (0.00098 to 0.00217in for those not using SI units).
