Scratching your head over your damaged timing belt? Well we at Rainbow Service Tech can help you with that! With years of experience our technicians can properly handle all timing belt replacements in our auto repair shop.

A timing belt makes sure that the many parts of your engine have a proper order of operation. That rubber toothed fiber reinforced belt is one of the most important parts that are in your engine, by rotating the camshaft and crankshaft (and possibly the water pump depending on the vehicle), your engine’s valves opens and closes.

So as you can see if there is any failure to replace a timing belt when needed, the damage can snowball out of control, and more parts could need to be replaced. You see, the crankshaft and camshaft move together by the timing belt being tethered to both of them.

Without the timing belt the crankshaft wont be able to help turn the camshaft, thus meaning the pistons wont be able to move either. This is definitely an essential part to keep your car in working condition, just remember that its better to take care of this now so that you wont have even more parts to take care of in the future.

Warning signs for replacing a timing belt
They say its about every 60,000 to 90,000 miles that the belt should be replaced, even if there is no visible damage. An old belt can result in parts of the engine hitting against each other, and the synchronicity of the moving parts becoming un-even. If you experience the following your belt should be replaced as soon as possible.

Banging/smashing noices coming from the engine
Engine stops abruptly and struggles to start back up
Squeaking sound
Rough engine operation
