Installation and Replacement

Aby řemen serpentinový fungoval jak má, je důležité provádět pravidelnou údržbu. Zde je několik tipů, jak se o něj starat

4. Reassembly Finally, everything is reassembled, and the new belt is adjusted and checked for proper tension.

2. Timing Belt Often considered one of the most critical belts in an engine, the timing belt connects the crankshaft and camshaft, ensuring that they move in sync. This synchronization is crucial for the engine’s performance, as it dictates the timing of the engine's valves opening and closing. Unlike serpentine belts, timing belts are typically made of rubber and have teeth that grip into the gears, providing precise timing.

Technological Advances in Timing Belts

Both timing belts and timing chains require maintenance, albeit to different extents. Timing belts need to be checked and replaced at regular intervals as outlined in the vehicle's owner manual. Neglecting to do so can lead to a belt break, resulting in severe engine damage.
