Does the Ford transit custom have a timing belt or chain?

The Ford transit custom uses a timing chain to synC-HRonize the position of the crankshaft and camshaft. The chain is cheaper over the life of the vehicle because it rarely needs servicing. This does not however mean there is never an issue. Most of the time the problems with the timing chain is because the tensioners loosen and can cause the chain to skip a gear which will throw the timing out of whack. When the timing is correct, the engine will run smoothly as it should. If the timing is off just by a few degrees, it will start missing the acceleration will be slowed and it is bad enough could destroy the engine. This happens because the valve timing is off with the piston timing and the valve could open as the piston is coming up and will wreck the inside of the engine.
