What Is A Timing Belt? 

One of the many repair services we offer at Orient Auto Service is timing belt replacement. Your timing belt is what keeps your engine in sync. It does this by allowing certain components of the engine, specifically the crankshaft and camshafts, to fire perfectly on time with one another. The timing belt keeps your engine’s systems of valves, cylinder heads, and pistons working in harmony. Timing belts, which are made of rubber, are most common in vehicles made before 1995. After 1995, many vehicles instead made use of a timing chain. 

When Should I Replace My Timing Belt? 

The precise timing won’t be the same for all vehicles, and we encourage you to check for the recommended schedule for your specific year and model. However, a good rule of thumb is to replace your timing belt after every 100,000 miles, or every 7 years. It is important to keep in mind that, depending on your vehicle, you may need more frequent replacements than this. If you fail to replace your timing belt in a timely manner then you can cause major damage to your engines. Without the timing belt, the valves and pistons in your engine will collide together with great force, which will greatly damage them as well as the walls of the cylinders.
