Correct, I mean crank and cam.

Can you explain why a new might fail sooner?
What is the cause of these failures, its a year/mileage range?

From the many threads here its seems this is normal and not indicitive of a bigger issues.
It really spooked me never been stranded before in 20+ years of driving(other then a clutch issue 20 years ago).

I am looking forward to many years no car payment driving, as I like the car and it only has 35K.
