Timing Belts
The timing belt for your engine is responsible for optimal engine performance and the reliability of your vehicle. Without your timing belt or what is also referred to as a drive chain, your car is inoperable.
Your engine functions by a series of belts and hoses. Your timing belt connects your camshaft to the crankshaft. A durable rubber made belt capable of withstanding years of motion and excessive heat, the belt has teeth grooves on one side that roll with the pulley system. This keeps the motion of your valves and pistons in time when you start your vehicle.
Signs of a Bad Timing Belt
Of course, timing belts will eventually begin to fray at the edges or become warped from long term use. Usually between 100,000 and 150,000 miles is when you may need to consider replacement. Signs that your timing chain is declining are:
- Abnormal vibrations
- Engine stalling
- Dead engine
- Ticking noises from engine
- Oil leaks
Seek an immediate inspection if your encounter any engine issues related to the ones above. Prolonging a drive belt fix could damage your engine even more, leaving you with costly repairs and or replacements.
