Timing belt breakage, engine parts incompatible makes it work somehow.

These are all these pieces serious damage can give. Let’s look at this problem in a little more detail.

The job of the timing belt is to ensure synchronization between the crankshaft and camshaft of the engine.

This ensures harmonious operation of valves and pistons. At the same time, by adjusting the engine’s timing, the fuel is discharged into the combustion chamber to shoot at the right time It also helps.

So what happens to us when it breaks?

When the timing belt breaks, the engine’s valves and pistons break cannot move in sync. This can cause the pistons to hit the valves, causing the valves to break.

Pistons hitting the valves can also damage them. this too pistons break or may cause damage to the cylinder walls.

In some engines, the timing belt also ensures that the water pump works.

If the timing belt breaks, the water pump will shut off. Stopping the water pump affects the engine’s cooling system and engine heats up quickly It leads. In this case, damage to the cylinder head gasket or other parts of the cooling system may occur.

As a result of all these problems we mentioned, the car’s engine become completely unusable can also come.

A broken timing belt can lead to costly problems like the above.

After such a situation, the valves, pistons and cylinder head may need to be replaced. It is therefore very important to check and replace the belt periodically. The service life of the timing belt is generally 3 years or 100 thousand kilometers.
