A LOOK AT YOUR ENGINE TIMING BELT
If you’re like many car or truck owners, you’re at least somewhat familiar with the names of major component parts of your engine, including the transmission, radiator, and timing belt. With that said, you may not really understand what these different elements do in regard to the operation of the engine.
The timing belt plays an important role in synchronizing the actions of the camshaft and the crankshaft. The crankshaft is taxed with managing the operation of the pistons. The camshaft controls the opening and closing of engine valves. The timing belt directly connects these two engine components.
A timing belt must be in tip-top condition. If it wears excessively, a timing belt becomes susceptible to breaking. If a timing belt snaps or breaks, an engine can sustain severe and costly damage. The service pros at Burritt Motors in Oswego, NY can inspect your timing belt and change it out if necessary.
