Timing belt/timing gears

Forum: 

Not really a problem at the moment but the information would be useful.
Can anyone confirm or deny that my 1985 C reg F70 fourtrak with the DL engine is fitted with timing gears rather than a timing belt.
Was planning to do the timing belt on my hols next week assuming it was the same as our x reg fieldman but possibly it isn't.
Many thanks

Thats correct. The timing cover is alloy if it has gears, but its plastic if it covers a belt.

This is what an alloy covered motor is like. Should give you an idea.
