I am considering buy new Fusion with the 2.5L 4 cylinder engine. I have been able to find little information about the engine other than that the block and head are aluminum. Can someone tell me if the camshafts are driven by a chain or a rubber belt which requires replacement every so often. Thanks.

 

I have made a purchase of a 10' fusion & I am having some of the same problems getting info. Unfortunately this Fusion forum has no heartbeat.

 

The Duratec 2.5L I-4 camshafts are chain driven.
