1. Please don't double post, a certain Bald Redhead hates that on here lol.gif tongue.gif
2. Riding Delight
3. You have both, a T-Belt and a T-Chain.
T-Belt is your normal timing belt.
The Timing chain sets up your intake and your exhaust cams
Only DOHC (Twin cam) cars have chains. Like the SOHC Accent does not have a chain.

The timing belt goes belween the sproket on the end of the exhaust cam and the crank pulley. The timing chain goes between the two cams.

1. EDIT your post instead of double posting. Then no one will think you are 12 and everyone will know you have read the rules here.
2. We do have timing belts, the cams also have a timing chain.
3. As for RD, if you look in the FAQ SECTION on the main page, you'll see it there. A search in the old site, www.rdtiburon.com/old would also show you the answer.
4. I'll let this double post stand as I understand why you did it, next time just edit the stuff in the first one.
