What is a Timing Belt?

Why? We feel that by knowing about these components, you’ll be able to identify when something is wrong and opt for service quicker, preventing the problem from worsening. So, what is the timing belt?

The timing belt is a rubber belt found within the engine and helps synchronize the cam and crankshaft. When functioning properly, it allows the intake and outtake valves to open and close in time with the piston. Think of the timing belt as a bike chain that helps keep everything moving in sync. The timing belt will typically need to be replaced every 60,000 – 100,000 miles, but this will vary on the vehicle model and manufacturer. Your best bet is to check the owner’s manual, as that will carry the proper information for your specific vehicle. You’ll notice if the belt needs to be replaced if you notice decreased engine power, noises from the belt, or leaking oil. If you see these signs, come in for service at your earliest convenience.
