FAQ for OEM Timing Belts and Chains
What is the difference between a timing belt and a timing chain?
A timing belt is a rubber belt with teeth on the inside that synchronizes the camshaft and crankshaft, making sure the engine's valves open and close at the correct times. A timing chain performs the same function but is made of metal.
How do I know if my car has a timing belt or a timing chain?
The type of timing part your vehicle uses depends on the make and model. You can find this information in your vehicle's owner's manual or by checking with your manufacturer. Generally, older and more economical cars tend to have timing belts, while newer and more performance-focused cars usually have timing chains.
What are the signs that my timing belt or chain needs to be replaced?
Some of the common signs of a worn timing belt or chain include ticking noises from the engine, engine misfires, trouble starting the vehicle, oil leaks, and the engine warning light appearing. If you notice these symptoms, be sure to address the issue as soon as possible.
How often should I replace a timing belt?
Timing belts typically need to be replaced between 60,000 to 100,000 miles, depending on your vehicle's make and model. Check your owner's manual for the specific maintenance schedule recommended for your vehicle.
