The timing belt is a crucial part of an internal combustion engine. Typically made from a reinforced rubber compound, it features teeth along its inner side, which interlock with gears on the crankshaft and camshaft. This precise synchronization is vital for the engine's performance because it ensures that the engine valves operate in harmony with the pistons, preventing interference. In interference engines, a timing belt failure can lead to a catastrophic collision between the pistons and valves, causing significant wear and potentially complete engine failure.

The 6PK in the name refers to the specific type of serpentine belt that features six ribs. This designation is important because it indicates both the belt's width and the number of grooves designed for maximum grip and efficiency. The 202140 typically represents the length of the belt in millimeters. Serpentine belts, including the 6PK 202140, are used in vehicles to drive multiple peripheral devices from a single crankshaft pulley. These devices often include the alternator, power steering pump, water pump, air conditioning compressor, and sometimes the fan.
