OK... there is a lot of confusion on the belt/chain thing. How your able to tell on any vehicle is to look at the timing cover, which is located behind your accessory drive belt(s). If the cover is plastic then you have a belt, if it is metal (usually aluminum or steel) then it is a chain. The reason for this is that a chain needs to be oiled where a belt does not. And if there is oil present then it has to have a tight seal so it doesn't leak. A belt just needs to be free of dirt and moisture so a plastic covering with a gasket works just fine. I have known this to be true with every car I have touched in the last 20 years. Now there are some cars that have multiple chains, not too many people know this. They are usually found on vehicals that are V-shaped motors with DOHC's (but not all of them). The main chain runs around the crank and the 2 intake cams then there are secondary chains that runs from 1 of the intake cams to the exhaust cam (example...Nissan 350zx). These timing covers are also metal. Now with all that cleared up, your Focus has a timing chain and they are typically changed around 120,000 miles. The guide and the tensioner are usually what wears out making the chain loose and slip off the timing gears. But "rule of thumb" is change the Guide, Tensioner, Chain, Cam and Crank gears as all the parts wear together (don't change the chain and not the gears). You will hear some people say that they don't need changing which is true to a minimal extent. With the chain and gears being metal they are designed to last a really long time but however the guide and tensioner are made up a composite nylon/plastic material that does wear out (again usually about 120,000 miles). And back to the "rule of thumb" change everything together.
Come to think about all this information, what is the exact question your asking?
