timing chain mechanism moved to the back of the new engine for weight transfer and the fact that the flywheel and transmission mass "stabilizes" the back of the engine better than the front.......and would assume less vibration and distortion on the timing chain mechanism moving it to the back. Longer life?...less long term problems??.....who knows
