sounds like porkies on the sellers part to me, even the diesel engines in that model had belts too, there weren't any chains used in any Camry in that period.

As it was imported from Japan it could have a chain. The NZ new ones were from Australia and they had belts.

My 1991 SV30 has a chain, so I've been told.
Ed: Mine is also Manual too. (which is rarer for that model)

Looks very much like a cambelt cover on the front of his engine!

It has a plastic front cover therefore it has a belt. The ones with a chain were sealed in a alloy cover

Agreed, why would you bother with buying that bag of mysterieswhen you could get something already road legal for $1500 and not have to bother with all the revinning crap.Now that an engine bay shot has been included it clearly has an "S" series belt drive engine in it.

Nope, the SV30 has the S series petrol engine, definitely belt driven. No S series engine was ever chain driven.
