Toyota: timing chain
Peugeot: timing belt

The cast alloy bloc of PSA engine is not "well born". As a former PSA
engineer, I eared about some bloc failures on test bed. The 2l engine
is realy a better bloc but too heavy and powerful for two seater
planes.

I prefer the Toyota engine in the 90-100HP range.
