Your car's engine relies on precise timing between the valves and pistons for optimal performance, and it wouldn’t be possible without the timing belt (or chain). This critical component ensures a synchronized operation. When your engine timing is off, turn to D&S Automotive for a top-notch timing belt repair.
Difference Between Timing Belt and Chain
Timing Belt
Timing belts are typically made of rubber, and they connect the crankshaft to the camshaft to control valve timing. Timing belts typically need replacement every 5 to 7 years.
Timing Chain
Instead of being made of rubber, the timing chain is made of metal. It performs the same function as a timing belt but generally lasts longer. Timing chains can still wear out and may eventually require replacement.
Our experienced technicians can replace your timing belt according to manufacturer specifications. We use high-quality parts and ensure proper installation as it is necessary for a properly functioning engine.
When Should You Replace the Timing Belt
When you reach the recommended replacement interval for a replacement, it’s best to take the proactive approach and replace it immediately. Otherwise, you can tell whether you have worn timing if it creates a ticking sound during operation. A failing timing belt or chain can also lead to rough idling, loss of power, or difficulty starting the engine.
