1998 3.0 Taurus Timing Chain or Belt

Jul 29, 2003 4 Replies

Is there a timing belt or chain in my 98 Taurus Vin Letter U not sure if 12 valve or 24 valve. If either or what is interval for a change?


it's a timing chain. And there's not really an interval to replace it as it's a major PITA. IF you're having problems with yoru car and the signs would point to a loose timing chain THEN it would time to replace it.

Would a loose timing chain cause the engine to clatter on Premium gasoline?
