TIMING BELT Description: Many of todays engines use timing belts, but not all. Some engines still use a timing chain and sprocket arrangement. A timing belt is a precision component with teeth that mesh exactly with its mating sprockets. Especially critical is uniformity of the teeth and their spacing. The belts teeth are precision molded from a special rubber compound for good mesh and long life. The belt's inherent tensile (stretch-resistant) qualities come from high strength cords that run parallel with the direction of belt travel. Purpose: The timing belt maintains crankshaft-to-camshaft synchronization, keeping valve operation matched to piston position. On some engines, the belt also drives other components. These include the oil pump, water pump, and balance shafts. |

Manufacturers generally
recommend a certain mileage for belt replacement. If the timing belt
is not replaced at the suggested interval, the belt could break,
leaving you stranded and possibly causing major engine damage. If
you are having the timing belt replaced, consider replacing other
parts that may be accessed at the same time. The water pump, timing
belt sprockets and tensioning pulleys are good examples. Check with
a qualified service technician if you have questions about your cars
needs for timing belt maintenance..
