🔧 Description:
It is a toothed rubber belt that synchronizes the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft.
Ensures that engine valves open and close at the correct time during each cylinder’s intake and exhaust strokes.
Typically made of reinforced rubber with high-strength fibers for durability.
✅ Functions:
Maintains precise timing between engine components.
Ensures smooth engine operation and combustion.
Prevents pistons and valves from colliding.
⚠️ Symptoms of a Worn/Faulty Timing Belt:
Ticking noise from the engine.
Engine misfires or rough running.
Difficulty starting the engine.
Visible cracks, fraying, or wear on the belt.
Complete breakage can lead to severe engine damage.
