New here so hello and new to Chevy. Just bought a 1998 Lumina garaged, one owner, looks factory new. Does the 3.1L have a timing chain or a belt? If a belt is the engine an interference type?

Jeff, you know if all 3.1's are non interference engines?, i have read a dozen posts here and there, and half say no, other half say yes.
I have a 93 GP 3.1 i put in my 89 Z 24.
