Timing Belts

In a car, the timing belt alongside the timing belt tensioner is used to maintain precision and is crucial to the functioning of the engine. It's responsible for coordinating the rotation of the crankshaft and the camshaft to ensure that pistons and valves in the engine move in-sync. The timing belt wears down over time and therefore needs to be replaced periodically. Check your car's service schedule online or read the owner's manual for information about the lifespan of this critical component. Usually, timing belts should be replaced after 60,000 to 100,000 miles depending on your car's engine configuration since the timing belt is specific to your vehicle. Check your timing belt cover as well for wear and tear.
