6mm timing belt

The serpentine belt is designed to drive several peripheral devices in the engine, including the alternator, power steering pump, water pump, air conditioning compressor, and more. Unlike the older vehicles that used multiple belts to connect these components, the serpentine belt provides a single, continuous loop that simplifies the design and improves reliability. The design was introduced to reduce engine noise and minimize the chances of belt failure.

A timing belt is a rubber belt that synchronizes the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft. This coordination is vital because it ensures that the engine’s valves open and close at the proper times in relation to the position of the pistons. If the timing belt fails, the consequences can be catastrophic. An engine may misfire, and in the worst-case scenario, a broken timing belt can lead to serious engine damage, including bent valves, damaged pistons, and in some cases, a complete engine failure.
