Does a 2002 Camry have a timing belt or chain that needs to be replaced?

When I bought my '02 I was told that it no longer has the timing belt/chain that needs to be replaced at around 60,000 miles (my '96 did have a timing belt that needed to be replaced every 60,000 miles). I have put over 80,000 mi. on my '02 and nice to know I won't be getting surprised by timing belt failure. Did have to have the serpentine belt on the engine replaced recently though.

The timing chain has no regularly scheduled time or mileage for replacement. It will normally last the life of the engine. They are routinely replaced when a complete overhaul is done. You will know if it needs service. It will become noisy, and your engine may not run correctly if it jumps a tooth.

How do you know if a timing chain or gears need to be replaced on a 1992 E-150 with a 302 5.0?

Take the dist cap off and watch the rotor. Turn the engine back and forth and see how much the engine turns without turning the rotor. If you move the balancer more than about 3/4 inch, I would say the chain needs replaced.
