When should you Replace the Timing Belt & Why?

A car engine contains various types of belts. The timing belt is one of the most important ones from all of them. If this belt doesn't work properly, it can ruin the entire operation of the engine. The main purpose of this belt is to turn the camshafts exactly half as fast as the crankshaft. Some manufacturers also use a chain instead of a belt. The chain has not required a replacement that's why many manufacturers prefer this option. But it creates so much noise, that is the main problem. That's why the belt is the perfect option.
