It seems more and more are built cheaply or with the idea of services that you will struggle to do yourself.

Wet belts (cam belts running in oil that degrade and block up passages over time)
One use sumps ! Yes you have to buy new sump
Low tension oil rings
Oil pumps driven by tiny little belts not metal gears etc.
Plastic everywhere

Its pretty scary if you take what they cost to buy in the first place
