Yes, the Ford 500 does indeed have a timing chain, not a belt.
chain
The 3.0 L - V6 - has a timing CHAIN
timing belt,62 500 miles or 60 months
There's no timing belt, it's a chain, and those things are rated to like 500 000kms. I've seen impala taxis come in with 350 000kms on the clock, and the chain has never been replaced.
In a 2006 Ford Five Hundred : The 3.0 litre " Duratec " DOHC , V6 engine has ( 2 timing CHAINS , 1 CHAIN to each cylinder head )
The engine in the Polaris Sportsman 500 is self adjusting. There is no need to adjust the timing chain on the Sportsman 500. If you are hearing the chain slap, it is time to replace the chain, not adjust it.
You timing belt replacement will cost approximately $500. Replacing the timing belt is very complicated and detailed. A novice mechanic should not attempt to do it.
Most manufacturers suggest you have the belt inspected/replaced every 60k miles
Just had this done yesterday on my 2002. Timing belt about $500, water pump another $500.
It will cost approximately 500 to 600 dollars to change a timing belt. The exact cost to change the timing belt is dependent upon the make and model of the vehicle.
about $500
