The timing belt is a flexible loop made of rubber reinforced with fibers for extra strength and durability. It is not just a simple piece of rubber; it is engineered to withstand high temperatures, resist wear and tear, and remain stable under varying pressure conditions. The timing belt also features teeth that grip the gears precisely, ensuring that the timing remains accurate throughout the engine’s operation.

Regular maintenance of the timing belt is essential for preventing potential problems. Most manufacturers recommend replacing the timing belt every 60,000 to 100,000 miles, but this can vary depending on the specific make and model of the vehicle. Ignoring this maintenance can lead to catastrophic failures, including the potential for valve and piston collision, which can be incredibly damaging to the engine.
