Marcus-
I think that the cam is driven by a chain, not a belt. It is
indeed an overhead cam motor though, so a non-functioning drive
chain will kill it. I think that the tension in the chain is
maintained by a hydraulic tensioner (driven by oil pressure).
I have heard of these things failing. I don't know if they are
available from parts sources.
