Modular V8's have always had the chain in the front driving both cams and we had zero problems with them until the cam phasers appeared, and changing the phasers is a tiny job compared to SOHC cam drive, especially the right side. The SHOC has 4 chains, one drives the "jack shaft", one drives the left cam, one drives the right cam at the back, and one drives the balance shaft. I've worked on air cooled VW's, Porsches, Audis, Mercedes, and BMW's, I'm firmly convinced Rube Goldberg was a German.
