If your timing chain broke because you spun a cam, you will need an entirely new engine. Be sure to weld the cams, too.

Does a Taurus - Sable have a timing belt or a timing chain and when do you replace it?

The Taurus / Sables are equipped with a timing chain. No scheduled replacement is necessary. The only 3.0 Ford Taurus that had a belt was the SHO model, which had a Yamaha built 3.0 V6. You do not need to change a timing chain as a general maintenance item, unlike a timing belt. Generally timing chains are only changed on very high-mileage motors if they are being rebuilt or refreshed. In most cases by the time the engine is due for a timing chain change, it could use a rebuild anyway. Some cars have timing belts. Timing belts and chains need to be replaced at the first sign of damage. If the chains are not replaced, the engine will come to a grinding halt and suffer severe damage. Chain The 3.0 liter engine codes (1)or (u) and 3.8 liter engine code (4) engines use a timing chain.The Taurus SHO engines code(y) and code (p) use a timing belt.The engine code is the 8th digit in your serial number,count from front of the number. Replacement of timing chains is not a regular maintenance operation. If there is no specific problem, leave it be. Your Taurus has a timing chain and so do all others except the Taurus SHO. Never, as it does not have a belt, it has a chain. The 3.0 liter - OHV - Vulcan V6 engine has a timing CHAIN It has a timing chain. If you have a 4 cylinder engine, or a 3.8l V-6, you have a timing chain. If you have a 3.0 or 3.2L V-6 also called a SHO engine, you have a timing belt.
