Understanding Timing Belts and When To Replace Them

Anytime that you turn on your engine, a complex chain of actions occurs. For your engine to properly operate, the specific timing of these actions is critical. That is where a timing belt comes into play. Your timing belt ensures actions involving your camshaft, crankshaft, and other engine components are timed perfectly to allow for smooth engine performance. For example, your camshaft is responsible for opening up cylinder valves in your engine. If this opening action happens too early or too late, when compared to the timing of other actions in your engine, it can cause too little or too much fuel to enter your cylinders. Like most vehicle parts, timing belts are not made to last forever and will eventually wear down and need to be replaced. In general, you can expect to require a timing belt replacement somewhere between 60,000 and 120,000 miles. We encourage drivers to consult their owner’s manual or come see us at Timbrook Kia in Cumberland, MD to learn more about their vehicle and its timing belt service recommendations.
