Does the 2000 Chevy Prizm have a timing belt or chain?

The engine inside the 2000 Chevy Prizm is equipped with a timing chain rather than a timing belt. While the chain and belt both perform the same job, mainly making sure that Your engine valves are opening and closing at the correct times, the chain does offer a couple of advantages. One advantage is that with proper care You may never have to worry about changing Your chain. Your engine oil will lubricate the chain and make sure that it runs well and doesn't have any friction when moving with other components. It's much easier and cheaper to do routine oil changes than it is to have the chain replaced so make sure You don't neglect it. -
