It depends on which engine the car has.
Under normal conditions the timing chain will last the life of the engine. It is normally replaced during a complete engine rebuild.
It is a timing chain, and no, you can replace it in the car.
No. A 302 or 5.0L is a non interference engine...if that it what it has
Assuming a 3800 (3.8L) engine, it has a timing chain which, with a little luck should last the life of the car/engine.
Yes I have the same car.
chain ============================================================================= A 1995 Lincoln Town Car , 4.6L V8 engine has ( 1 timing chain to each cylinder head , so there are 2 timing chains )
It depends on the age of the car, engine size & engine code/type. The smaller ones are generally chain. the bigger ones are generally belt.
Yes, if there is internal leak.
It depends on the year/make/model and the engine in the car, can be a belt or chain.
Noninterference
If your car has the 2.8V6 it has a timing chain. If your car has the 2.54 cylinder engine it has timing gears. Neither has a timing belt or the problems that come with one.
