The belt connects the crankshaft, which is responsible for converting linear motion from the pistons into rotational motion, to the camshaft, which controls the opening and closing of the engine's valves.

If this synchronization is off, the engine may not operate efficiently, leading to performance issues or, in extreme cases, severe engine damage.
