Does the Chevy 3.8 have a timing belt?

The Chevrolet (Chevy) 3.8 engine does not have a timing belt. Instead, it uses a timing chain. A timing chain is a metal chain that connects the crankshaft and the camshaft, ensuring that the engine's valves open and close at the correct times. Timing chains are generally considered more durable than timing belts and require less frequent maintenance.
