There are many components that play a role in the proper function of your vehicle. The timing belt is one such component, as it is vital to keeping the crankshaft and camshaft turning in synchronicity. Understanding how the timing belt works will help you ensure that it is maintained and in good condition.
The crankshaft of your vehicle manages the engines pistons. The camshaft, on the other hand, controls the opening and closing of your engine's values. The function of the timing belt is to connect the two, so that they function in a way which allows the engine to work. A broken or worn timing belt can cause your engine to stop or damage engine components.
