The vortec used a plastic timing cover with the crank sensor mounted in it at the lower end. The cover and gasket come as one part and are meant to be replaced when removed. Although I will say that if you clean it properly and dry it well with brake cleaner and use a quality sealer you will be ok reusing it. it is located under the water pump and against the front of the block covering the timing chain, gears and reluctor wheel for the crank sensor.

Where is the timing chain situated on a Toyota Echo 2000?
Directly behind the timing chain cover which is attached to the engine, on the passenger side of the engine. It is completely sealed so you cannot see it at all unless you remove the cover. It should not need replacement unless you are having a problem that can be attributed to the timing (there is no preventive maintenance replacement interval).
