08 Dec JJ’s Custom Import Repair, Inc. Smart Car Care Videos: A Broken or Damaged Timing Belt
The timing belt rotates the cam shafts which open and close the valves that allow air, fuel, and exhaust to flow through the engine as it powers your automobile.
An old timing belt can lose a “tooth” in the belt allowing it to slip. The engine could stop or misfire. Timing belt slip – or a broken timing belt – can be disastrous on some engines. In “interference” engines, open valves can get in the way of the piston when the timing belt breaks or slips. When that happens one or more valves can be bent requiring costly engine repairs.
It is essential for Jacksonville car owners to replace their timing belts as recommended in their owner’s manual to avoid unnecessary breakdowns. Ask the team of professionals at JJ’s Custom Import Repair, Inc. in Jacksonville if it’s time for your timing belt to be replaced.
