Timing chains are located where they are lubricated in motor oil. Timing belts are not. So putting a chain in the belt's location will not work. Not a bad idea, but no.

That's correct. Your car has a belt. You can not use a chain as a replacement. They don't make one. It would not work. Get your belt replaced at 100K miles or risk engine damage when it breaks.
