Timing Belt

For nearly every internal combustion engine with a camshaft and crankshaft, a timing chain, gear, or belt setup is used. These mechanical components ensure that the camshaft and crankshaft are in the correct position to allow optimum combustion to occur and prevent pistons from making contact with the valves. Timing belts, primarily made of rubber, have teeth, preventing them from slipping on the crankshaft or camshaft gears and causing performance problems or engine damage. It is important to change them at the recommended mileage or age to prevent breakage from occurring.

When choosing a timing belt replacement for your stock engine, the first step is confirming the year, make, model, and engine size. Then match the compatible belts to your application. From the remaining options, select the belt that best fits your needs and budget. A timing belt replacement cost ranges in price from $10 to $700, depending on the application.
