TCH time belt

Hello,
I want to know if the TCH has a time belt or not? If No, then what does it has? Also, do we have to change it and when?

I believe TCH has timing chain. Usually timing belt has to be changed every 100k or so, timing chain however should last lifetime of the engine, so you shouldn't worry about it.

It has a chain. No need to change which is good. I hate doing them and I had to change my wife's V6 Honda today.

Thank you all for this great information, but do you have any reference from Toyota about this?

http://www.camrystuff.com/manuals/Ge...Mechanical.pdf is the manual. Shows the engine has a chain for driving the cams. Page EM20 shows the chain and all its components.
