Are all Japanese cars equipped with timing chains?

[Prim]

Japanese cars all use timing chains. Here are the methods to distinguish between timing belts and timing chains: 1. Judging by the cover material and sealing degree: Whether it's a timing belt or chain, it can't be seen from the outside. You can determine by the material of the cover and its sealing degree. If the cover is plastic and secured with just a few simple screws, it's a timing belt. If it's made of iron or aluminum with numerous screws and tight sealing, it's a timing chain. 2. Checking the maintenance manual: Refer to the maintenance manual. In the maintenance content, since timing belts require regular replacement, if there's a specified mileage for timing belt replacement, it indicates the use of a timing belt. Timing chains don't need replacement for the lifetime of the vehicle, so if no replacement mileage is mentioned, it signifies a timing chain.
