The primary function of the internal timing belt is to synchronize the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft. This synchronization is essential for the timing of the engine's valve openings and closings in relation to the position of the pistons. When the crankshaft rotates, the timing belt transfers that motion to the camshaft, which controls the intake and exhaust valves. Proper timing enables the engine to run smoothly, improve fuel efficiency, and increase overall performance.

While timing chains are more durable, they do have their drawbacks. They tend to be heavier, which can increase the overall weight of the engine. Additionally, timing chains can be noisier than belts, leading to some engine noise which may be undesirable for certain drivers. They also require regular maintenance, as they need to be properly lubricated, and if they become loose over time, they can affect engine performance and lead to premature wear.
