Timing belt or Timing chain ?????

Forum: 

Can anybody tell me how to identify whether I have a belt or a chain without having to take the cover off my 2.8td Fourtrak engine, the crank pulley bolt is being particularly stubborn. I have been told that the earlier ones had chains, but is there any way of finding out from the engine number?

Thanks for the links but
