What is a Timing Belt?

The timing belt or cam belt is a part of your car’s engine, it loops around various shafts on the vehicle known as the crankshaft and camshaft(s), this is so that the engine’s valves open and close at the correct time.

The belt is made of a synthetic rubber, it has a number of teeth on the inside of the belt which allows the belt to grip
