A timing belt is typically made from high-quality rubber reinforced with fiber for added strength, designed to withstand a significant amount of pressure and heat. Over time, however, this belt can wear due to factors like heat, oil exposure, and general wear and tear. Toyota recommends regular inspections and replacements of the timing belt to prevent potential engine damage that can occur if the belt snaps.

5. Poly-V Belts Featuring multiple small V-shaped grooves, Poly-V belts offer a high level of power transmission capability while maintaining a compact design. These belts are increasingly used in automotive applications and compact machinery where space is limited.

Belt sizes typically include three main measurements length, width, and thickness. For a 3pk belt, the key dimension to focus on is the circumference or the effective length of the belt. This is usually measured in millimeters and is critical for ensuring the belt fits correctly around the pulleys.
