I have a 97 Alti (72K miles) and need to find out if they have a timing belt or chain? I am replacing the U/D pully and didn't know if I should replace the timing belt while I do the pulley. If it has one.

chain........costs lots of $$

You can replace the engine for about half what it costs to get the chain replaced.

I have 147,000 miles, and my chain has made a little noise since I bought the car with 60,000 3 years ago. Don't sweat the chain.

Thanks for the heads up. I might just run my car to about 100K and then source a new engine to upgrade and drop in. I appreciate the input.
