The Windstar engines are equipped with a timing chain. No scheduled replacement is necessary.
Generally timing chains are only changed on very high-mileage motors if they are being rebuilt or refreshed. In most cases by the time the engine is due for a timing chain change, it could use a rebuild anyway. you should not have to do any maintenance to the timing chain because its internal and lubed by ''splash'' oiling though internal oil gallies in the engine block. the cam should also be the same.
There is no timing belt on the Windstar engine - it is equipped with a timing chain, which requires no routine maintenance. Also, engine timing is controlled by the engine / powertrain computer module. No user intervention required (or even possible).
Normally it will last the life of the engine and is replaced when the engine is overhauled.
