Timing belt

What’s the recommended mileage for the timing belt replacement?

Thanks!

As I recall, the 5.7 liter v8s we get on our US delivery LCs have a timing chain, not a timing belt.

This.

As long as the oil is changed often, which helps keep the plastic parts of the chain guides in good shape, the timing system is good for a few hundred thousand miles.

Whenever I get around to re-sealing my timing cover probably around 200k I plan to find a way to measure chain stretch, but that is more to collect data than anything else. I don’t anticipate having to change major parts.
