AAMCO Spring, TX Timing Belt Service

Many vehicles are equipped with timing belts, and others use timing chains. The timing belt drives and synchronizes important valves and other internal components of the engine. A timing belt is a very important part of your engine. It is made of very durable rubber and fibers and is typically located behind the drive belts and water pump, hidden inside the front engine cover. The function of the timing belt is to synchronize the rotation of the crankshaft with the camshaft(s) so that the engine's valves open and close at the proper times during each cylinder's intake and exhaust strokes. Making sure they do not interfere and collide with the engine’s pistons which would cause major internal engine damage. 

Maintenance and Care

Timing belts often begin to wear down somewhere between 60,000 to 100,000 miles and if let go much longer, have a good chance of breaking and causing internal engine damage.  You should refer to your owner's manual for timing belt maintenance information as there is likely a specified mileage interval where replacement is required.  If you have any questions or concerns, a trained technician at AAMCO Spring, TX can give you more information and pinpoint any potential problems, saving you money and the inconvenience of a breakdown.

Indicators that it’s time to replace your Timing Belt 

The timing belt is essential to the continual operation of your engine and could be unsafe if the engine suddenly loses power or locks up completely.
