Timing belts are important to your vehicle’s engine. The timing control system ensures the combustion engine runs smoothly and keeps the crankshaft and camshaft perfectly synchronized and ensures that the vehicle runs smoothly. Because of this, your cambelt needs special attention. When a cambelt snaps, it can be catastrophic for your engine, causing damage to other parts of the engine because of the knock-on effects.

In the same manner, if the belt is too tight, it will lead to excessive wear on the bearings, which will result in expensive repairs. You need to replace or repair your cambelt when you hear a whining sound. When you hear this sound, you need to book a mechanic to check the belt immediately. Unattended, a damaged or snapped cambelt can cause even more damage.
