Advantages Over Traditional Belts
The timing belt serves a pivotal role within the engine. Its primary function is to keep the engine’s moving parts in sync. In a typical four-stroke engine, the crankshaft spins, driving the pistons up and down. Simultaneously, the camshaft must rotate in sync to open and close the valves at the right moment. The timing belt ensures that these operations do not occur out of sync, which could lead to engine damage.
