Timing Belts

In the internal combustion engine application, the timing belt/chain connects the crankshaft to the camshaft(s), which in turn controls the opening and closing of the engine's valves. A four-stroke engine requires that the valves open and close once every other revolution of the crankshaft. The timing belt/chain does this. It has teeth to turn the camshaft(s) synchronised with the crankshaft, and is specifically designed for a particular engine. In some engine designs, the timing belt may also be used to drive other engine components such as the water pump and oil pump (internal combustion engine).

The certified mechanics at Winkler Automotive recommend replacing the timing belts with tensioners and water pump as part of a preventive maintenance program. Not doing so can cause a very costly engine repair in the future. Feel free to contact us for an appointment.
