Does the 2019 Subaru Outback have a timing belt or chain?

The 2019 Subaru Outback employs a timing chain and not a timing belt, as they are primarily interference engines. This belt works as a reinforced band with grooves or hatches on the inner side. Apart from that, the engines crankshaft is connected to the camshaft by way of the timing belt. As a result, the timing belt plays an integral role in regulating and managing many of the pistons and valves found in the car. This happens when the grooves on the inside of the belt synC-HRonize to the releasing and shutting cycles of the valves. If You hear a ticking noise coming from Your engine, or cant turn over the engine once Youre under the hood, odds are Youre suffering from a damaged or dysfunctional timing belt.
