- Oil Leaks Oil leaks around the front of the engine can signal that the timing belt cover is damaged, which may require immediate attention.

1. Increased Efficiency One of the primary benefits of ribbed drive belts is their ability to efficiently transfer power between components. With their wider surface area and improved contact with the pulley grooves, these belts minimize energy loss due to slippage, ensuring that more of the engine's power is converted into mechanical work.

2. Width and Profile Ensure that the belt’s width and profile match the grooves of the pulleys. Mismatched sizes can lead to slippage, reduced efficiency, and potential damage.
