In the 2005 Toyota Camry, the type of timing mechanism, either a chain or a belt, depends on the engine you choose. The 2.4L 4-cylinder engine is equipped with a timing chain, while the V6 engine utilizes a timing belt. In my view, a timing chain is a superior choice compared to a belt as it requires less frequent maintenance. Belts typically need replacement every 60,000 to 100,000 miles, whereas chains can last for over 300,000 miles. However, it's still important to inspect the chain at least once annually to ensure it remains clear of debris and properly tensioned. An issue with a timing belt or chain can cause significant engine damage.
