Would the 2.7 have a timing belt or chain and if it’s a belt is there an easy way to inspect motor has been replaced but not sure if they did replace belt if it is one

Front bank of engine (radiator side),, work around getting bolts from top cover and open up enough to look inside

Early 2.7 had 1 piece cover that covers both bank cam cogs.. later 2.7 covers is 2 pieces, 1 for each bank...

Got pic of belt end of engine ?

Found out the timing belt has about 60000 km on it they changed when the motor was changed, I do have another question the rear wiper does not work and from what I can see it gets it’s power from the same place defroster does is that correct? One side is detached if not how is the motor accessed there is a plastic cover with no screws over it

I want to say you have to remove the rear gate panel,, rear wiper is on it' own circuit

Ok I will see if I can trace it that way wondering if Haynes manuals are helpful
