Unless he's had the engine out of something else installed, it will have the normal timing belt we all know & love

It is unusual(ish) in that the injector pump is driven by gears from the crank which then drives the camshaft via a belt

Hi, i"am pretty sure that the injector pump is chain driven from the crank, but the cam shaft IS belt driven.

It's gears not a chain - I've been put right on this by "HWKWHTA" before
