chain
it has a timing chain. its not a honda.
The 2006 Honda Pilot has a timing belt. The engine is a J35 series SOHC 24-Valve 3.5L V6 motor with cylinder deactivation (2WD models only).
A 1998 Mercury Mystique , 2.5 liter V6 has : ( 1 timing CHAIN to each cylinder head , so there are 2 timing CHAINS )
Belt on the left side when your looking in at the engine bay. At least it should be.
Taurus uses chains. If it is a 3.0 liter 12 valve engine, it has one chain. If it is the 3.0 DOHC 24 valve engine, it has two chains.
The Cummins diesel does not have a timing belt.
The duration taken to do a timing belt kit on a 99 Toyota Truck 3.4 liter 24 valve varies from one professional to another.
The 2002-2006 Camry received the next generation 2.4L 4-cylinder engine (model 2AZ-FE), which combines decent power with excellent fuel economy. This engine does not have a timing belt, it has a chain that does not need to be replaced. The second choice is very smooth and powerful 3.0-liter 24-valve all-aluminum V6 engine. Starting from 2004, the 3.3-liter V6 DOHC VVT-i engine is available on SE V6 model. Both, the 3.0L and 3.3L V6 engines have a timing belt that must be replaced at certain interval.
The older 3.0 liter V6 used in the Avalon, Solara and Camry and current 3.5 liter V6 engines used in the Avalon and other Toyotas used a timing belt. The current mileage interval for replacement is either 90,000 or 120,000 miles.
The 2003-2007 Accord comes with two engine choices: The lightweight high-tech 2.4L 4-cylinder 16-valves DOHC engine with an advanced i-VTEC valve control system. In my opinion, this is one of the best engines in its class. This is a strong, yet very economical low-maintenance workhorse; no timing belt to worry about - the maintenance-free silent chain is used instead. The second choice is the 3.0L, 24-valves SOHC V6 VTEC engine, that shares its design with the V6 of the previous generation Honda Accord. It's a smooth and powerful motor - don't expect it to be cheap on gas. It has a timing belt that needs to be replaced at recommended intervals.
Many engines do not have the cylinder numbers cast on the block or the head. The only way to tell is to buy the maintenance manual for the car, and to look up the 'engine' section. Under 'Timing' it will tell you the firing order, the layout of the cylinders, and how to install the timing belt/chain.
