The primary role of a rubber timing belt is to maintain the correct timing between these crucial engine components. When the engine operates, the crankshaft drives the timing belt, which in turn moves the camshaft. This synchronization ensures that the engine's valves open and close at the appropriate times during the engine cycle. If the timing belt fails or slips, it can lead to severe engine performance issues and potential catastrophic damage, such as bent valves or even a complete engine failure.
