TIMING BELT & TIMING CHAIN
|
|
AZIZ Auto Repair Inspects your vehicle regardless if you have a timing chain or belt. It is important to the overall operation of your vehicle. Checking your timing belt can be as hard as replacing it yourself. Timing belts can fail without warning

The timing belt turns the camshaft(s) at exactly half the speed of the crankshaft while keeping a precise alignment ensuring that the crankshaft will make two revolutions for every camshaft revolution. Every engine has at least one camshaft, some have as many as four. In your motor, timing is everything. That’s why your timing chain and/or timing belt are so vital to the operation of your entire vehicle. Without a properly installed and adjusted timing chain or timing belt, the valves on your engine don’t open and close at the appropriate times. A sloppy timing chain can result in poor running, valve clatter, and loss of power, while a broken timing belt can cause your engine to stop running or, on an interference application, cause your valves to crash into your pistons resulting in engine damage. |

While a timing chain may last the life of an engine, a timing belt has specific requirements for replacement intervals. Check your owner’s manual for timing belt replacement mileage and follow those requirements to the T. If you have a timing chain instead of a timing belt, signs that your timing chain may need replacement include loss of power and noise from the timing cover at the front of your engine. Unlike the timing belt crowd, you probably won’t destroy your engine by running with a worn out timing chain. |

AZIZ Auto Repair has all manufacturer recommended service information, and timing belt replacement is just one of the many repair services our trained technicians can perform. With the use of our engine diagnostic testing we can tell if you might also need a water pump replacement at the same time, which is also very common. AZIZ Auto Repair recommends checking at the same time because the bulk of the labor needed to change your water pump is the same labor needed to replace your timing belt or chain. Saving you money on quality repair is what AZIZ Auto Repair is all about. |
