The timing belt is a rubber belt reinforced with durable materials, like nylon or fiberglass. It synchronizes the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft. This ensures your engine’s valves open and close at the right time during each cylinder's intake and exhaust strokes. If the timing belt fails, the engine’s valves can collide with the pistons to cause extensive destruction.
Signs of a Worn Timing Belt
These are some of the warning signs your timing belt may need attention:
- Ticking Noise From The Engine

FAQs About Timing Belt Replacement
When should you replace your timing belt?
Timing belt replacement intervals vary by vehicle make and model. Typically, manufacturers recommend replacing the timing belt every 60,000 to 100,000 miles. Refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual for specific guidelines.
What happens if my timing belt breaks while driving?
If the timing belt snaps, it can cause severe damage to the engine, especially in interference engines, where the pistons and valves may collide.
