Most of today’s automotive engines that are comprised of overhead camshafts are included with timing belts that only live a very short life. Whereas the function served by a timing belt can be done by using a chain that can live a longer life than a timing belt, most car manufacturers opt for timing belts because they are lighter, produce lesser noise when at work and cost less to manufacture. In your car owner’s manual, the certain mileage at which the timing belt should be replaced is identified, which usually ranges from sixty thousand up to one hundred five thousand miles. A typical timing belt wraps around the camshaft, the idler pulley, the water pump, the crankshaft and the tensioner pulley.

In your vehicle, it is the task of the Chevrolet Camaro timing belt to spin the camshaft or camshafts at precisely half the speed of the crankshaft while keeping the arrangement. Ideally, the crankshaft should turn twice before the camshaft is turned once. A typical engine has at least one camshaft but could have up to four camshafts in V arrangement of cylinders in the engine. The camshaft is the one that engages the intake and exhaust valves to open and close relative to the upward and downward movement of the pistons in the cylinders. It is important that the opening and closing of the valves is timed with the piston movement so that the engine is guaranteed to work at its best.

The Chevrolet Camaro timing belt is sometimes referred to as the timing chain or the cam belt. Because of its concealed location, the timing belt is too hard to locate and even harder to repair or replace. It is required to replace the timing belt after a certain interval, and it is highly suggested that the water pump be replaced every time the timing belt is replaced. It is not really mandatory that the water pump be replaced every time the timing belt is replaced, but it will cost you less to replace the water pump than find it difficult to access the timing belt.
