The timing chain is designed to last the life of the engine and is normally replaced during a complete engine rebuild. Unless the chain becomes noisy or you experience a loss in performance no maintenance is required.
timing CHAIN on the 2.7 liter 4 cylinder engine
2.7 has chain, 3.4 (6cyl.) has belt
How do you change a timing belt on a 1998 Toyota Tacoma? And what part do I need to buy?
1998 and up 4 cylinders have timing chains not belts, which means it is not necessary to replace.
Normally a timing chain will last the life of the engine and is replaced during a complete engine rebuild. No maintenance is normally required.
Depends on what year it was manufactured. If it is from e46 series (1998 onwards then it is deifinitely a timing chain which is good news, i.e., no maintenance.
