2001 Frontier 4cyl Timing

Anyone know offhand whether the 4 cylinder engine in the 2001 Frontier used a timing belt or a chain? If belt, when is the recommended replacement?

Thanks,

Chain

It's supposed to last the life of the engine. Occasionally timing chains do need to be replaced but usually not until a LOT of miles and you will probably get some audible warnings such as rattle and pinging when it's out of specs.

Thanks for the response. Actually I had a timing chain stretch out on a Celica so that it wore a hole through the water jacket over the timing chain cover. The first sign that the timing chain had stretched was overheating and water in the oil pan.

Thanks again,
