While plenty of drivers have a working knowledge of engine components such as pistons and valves, this seems not to be the case for timing belts. Learning some key facts and maintenance guidelines for timing belts will be beneficial to any driver.
Crankshaft operations and camshaft operations need to move with the same pace, otherwise engine complications may wreak havoc on your San Juan vehicle. It is for this reason that automotive manufacturers insert a trusty rubber timing belt into a car. Vintage models, though, have had chains installed instead. With a reliable timing belt, the paces of both the camshaft and the crankshaft will no longer be different.
At Acura of the Rio Grande Valley, we realize that understanding automotive parts like the timing belt can be difficult. You can ask our service technicians to further inform you about timing belts and whether your car is due to receive a brand-new one yet.
