Timing belts are an essential component of the engine in a vehicle, so it’s important to make sure you get the right type.
Automotive timing belts are an important piece of the puzzle when it comes to ensuring your car runs smoothly and efficiently.
They are specifically designed to transfer power from the engine crankshaft to the camshaft, helping to keep your engine components perfectly in sync.
When shopping for timing belts, there are a few important factors to consider such as the tooth count, belt length, and material type.
Automotive timing belts are typically either raw-edge or moulded-tooth styles, with the raw-edge offering the most flexibility for applications with variable speeds and loads.
Additionally, you should pay attention to manufacturer recommendations in order to ensure you get the correct size and type of timing belt for your vehicle.
