What Is An Engine Timing Belt
An engine timing belt is made of the belt, idler pulley, tensioner, and water pump. It is the most important belt in the engine. The timing belt works to time the movement of the pistons to the opening of the valves.
How Often To Change Timing Belts
Timing belts should be changed about every 90,000 miles. If you need to replace your timing belt, it can potentially let in water, oil, or dust. When you replace your belt, then change the whole system.
Maintaining Your Engine Timing Belt
If the timing belt breaks then the engine will stop running. Over time the engine belt will stretch. Signs that a timing belt is stretched include a lack of power in the engine. If the pick up on the engine is slow it can also be because the timing belt isn’t working.
