What Does a Timing Belt Do?

Ignoring the replacement of a timing belt as part of scheduled vehicle maintenance could lead to major engine failure. Yet, for something that’s so important to a car’s engine, many people are not very familiar with what a timing belt actually does. The timing belt is a rubber belt located in the engine compartment. It’s job is to ensure the proper timing and operation of the engine’s valves, and keep all of the moving mechanisms performing in order together.

In order to avoid expensive, major repairs – and keep your car running safely, it is important to get your timing belt replaced as needed before it wears down or breaks completely.
