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.
