What is a Timing Belt?

Material Composition

A serpentine belt is a long, winding belt that drives multiple peripheral devices in an engine, including the alternator, power steering pump, water pump, air conditioning compressor, and sometimes even the turbocharger. In the case of the LB7 engine, this single belt is designed to streamline the connection between the engine’s crankshaft and various components, ensuring their effective operation. Unlike older vehicles that have multiple belts for different accessories, a serpentine belt simplifies the layout and reduces the overall weight of the engine.
