What is a Timing Belt?
The timing belt is set off by itself in its own compartment, but it serves a critical role in the overall functioning of the engine and its components. It connects to and operates both the camshaft and the crankshaft through the power it receives from the engine.
By connecting to the crankshaft, the timing belt provides the crankshaft with the power it needs to supply other parts, such as the clutch, with the force they need to function. The camshaft, by comparison, receives the power it receives from the engine through the help of the timing belt.
