Q: What is the consequence of not having your timing belt replaced when it’s due?
Josh: A timing belt is a rubber belt that synchronizes the crankshafts rotation with the engine valves allowing them to open and close at the right time during the air intake and exhaust stroke. This ensures the correct compression and combustion cycles that will make your engine run. A worn timing belt can snap without warning, causing severe engine damage that often costs thousands to repair. Replacing your timing belt at the recommended interval is one of the most important ways to protect your vehicle’s engine and avoid unexpected breakdowns.
