Timing Belt Video

The timing belt plays an important role in your engine by synchronizing the camshaft and crankshaft. This allows the valves and pistons to move in proper timing so your engine can run smoothly.

For your engine to operate correctly, the timing belt must stay properly aligned with these moving components. Over time, timing belts can wear out and may need to be replaced at intervals that vary by vehicle. You can ask your service advisor at Ken's A-1 Auto Service in Hibbing, MN about the recommended replacement interval for your vehicle.

If a timing belt slips or breaks, this timing can be lost. In some engines, this may lead to internal damage if components come into contact with each other. A failure while driving can also leave you stranded.

If you’re noticing performance issues or are unsure about the condition of your timing belt, proper testing is important. The team at Ken's A-1 Auto Service may begin with our auto diagnostics service and inspect related components within the engine system.

If your timing belt may need to be replaced, call (218) 263-9911 today.
