While timing chains are more durable, many car makers use timing belts instead. The main reason for this is, chains cost more and are noisier than belts. The task of these belts is to turn the engine camshaft at precisely half the speed of the crankshaft without affecting its precise alignment. Because of their task and the material used in their construction, which is usually high grade rubber, timing belts are among the most replaced engine components. Your car manual will tell you when to replace your ride’s belt.

There are two types of engine that employ timing belts – interference engines and non-interference engines. On the first type of engine, there’s a tendency that the belt will self destruct when it slips even a notch. It may also damage the valves and the pistons severely. On the latter type however, the engine automatically shuts down when the belt slips so the damage won’t be that serious.
