Timing Chain Or Belt
Have a 2008 Toyota Avalon XLS, 6 cyl. At the moment can't locate the
owner's manual. Have been trying to find out if the car has a timing chain or a belt. Looking around, I've read many conflicting answers re-Chain or Belt and replacement mileage; 60,000 vs 90,000. Also, have not read anything with respect to "Time", for example, my Honda is 70,000 mi or 7 years for the timing belt. Anyone got some solid information or a link that has answers. MLD |

Rock auto's set up is probably easiest to use for this purpose. |

Not a word relative to a timing belt--obviously, because the engine doesn't have one. MLD |
