    kkda has a chain for the lower timing. Belt (dry) from fuel pump to camshaft.

    It is undefined whether the chain has a specified replacement schedule. Most books and garages say no. The latest Ford spec. says yes (or so I have heard), but I think that was updated in about 2009 when the lower belt came in, and no differentiation was made. Chain breakages are said to be extremely rare.
