Have any V6 giys snapped a timing belt?

I know some of you have skipped a few teeth or had a cracked gear, but I haven't heard about any diabolic failures....

Prove me wrong?

ive fixed a few... But not had one personally.

I4 is more prevalent?

yep.

More prevalent because there are more i4s, or more prevalent because they just break easier??

personally, I think its because the belt has to make sharper turns, and more of them.
I also think its because they spend more time at higher overall RPMs.

Who knows? I know that Ive seen v6 belts last 135,000 miles though.. But Ive seen the 4 cylinders break at 80.
