it has a chain and fun to change.
The 2.3 liter 4 cylinder and the 3.0 liter V6 have a timing CHAIN
Yes, it uses an internal timing "CHAIN", not a belt. The timing chain should last until the engine needs to be rebuilt.
It is recommended to replace the timing belt in a 1994 Mercury Topaz every 60,000-100,000 miles. It is important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines to prevent potential engine damage due to belt failure.
the timing is usually set by adjusting the distributor and using a timing light on the number one cylinder and pointing the light at the harmonic balancer on the bottom of the engine crankshaft pulley,the timing mark on thr balancer should be marked on the correct degree for example 10 degrees before top dead center. as the distributor is turned the timing on the light will adjust to the balancer . to get the correct timing look under your hood for a sticker that has timing and sparkplug gap specs.
The manufacture lists the mileage at which the timing belt must be replaced. On vehicles that have an interference engine if the belt breaks you will have serious internal engine damage. The mileage at which it must be changed varies from 60,000 to 110,000 miles. As you did not list your make, model, year, or engine size I can give you no definitive answer. Look in your owners manual.
