Justa Timing Chain Question

How much of a problem is the whole Timing Chain Tensioner/Guide failure thing on Justas? I know that it's a real B-hole clencher for S owners, but what about those who like fuel economy instead? Is it as common an issue?

If so, are there superior upgrades/revisions to the parts that have a better failure rate than the set it came with? Can't actually find a straight answer to this stuff anywhere.

From what I found as I looked into that, the Justa has a more robust system, and we don't have the issues that the S owners have.

Mainly a problem on the turbo models from 2007 through 2010. Not a Justa issue.

Enjoy!
