The main cause of failure in his view is incorrect combustion which is either due to worn injectors, contamination or modification.
Pradopoint has a couple of examples though of what your looking for in particular. People do tend to go quiet if the failure is caused by a chip or tune.
Yes as indicated, not many will admit they played a hand in their demise. Anth's conclusions seem to follow Toyota in that the revised injector and piston really recognises that particular vulnerability.
It appears that inadvertent contamination (water in fuel etc) injectors (revised by Toyota) and modifications (probably excessive) are the primary cause so far. Not really a fragile engine, more one misused.
