does my 2004 Toyota Avalon XLS V-6 3000 have a timing belt or a timing chain?

It has a timing BELT with PLASTIC covers on the front of the engine to keep out debris! The difference: Engines with a timing CHAIN have a METAL cover on the front of the engine as the chain and componets run in oil. This metal cover seals in the oil and componets! Now YOU can tell anyone that ask.
