Have you ever wondered how the internal combustion engine of your vehicle works? And have you ever wondered what governs the timed movement of its crankshaft, camshaft and valves so that it would function smoothly? Well, most of us would think that such precise movements are controlled by some complex engine component. In reality, however, the coordinated movements of the crankshaft, camshaft and the valves are being controlled by a very simple component—a belt. And this belt is called the timing belt.

The timing belt, also called timing chain or cam belt, is a toothed rubber belt driven by the camshaft whose primary function is to control the timing of the engine valves by coordinating the rotation of the crankshaft and the camshaft. In most modern vehicles, the timing belt performs yet another function, and that is to drive the water pump.

Since the timing of the valves' opening and closing is very important for the smooth operation of the vehicle's engine, it is only proper that the timing belt be protected properly. For your vehicle, this protection is being provided by the timing belt cover, which is actually a lid made up of three metal plates. Now, without the timing belt cover, the belt may get damaged easily. You wouldn't want this to happen, because if the belt gets damaged, the opening and closing of the valves won't be timed properly. At the worst, this may cause a valve to open at the compression stroke of a piston, causing an unwanted collision that results to valve damage. This damage may further result to various other internal engine damages.

Unluckily, some timing belt damages are caused by the timing belt cover itself. Sloppy timing belt cover installation is one of the major causes of timing belt damages. To avoid such problem, it is always recommended that timing belt cover replacements be done only by professional mechanics. This is a wise move, anyway, because replacing the timing belt cover would require the removal of a lot of other components like the water pump, the radiator hose, and the thermostat housing, among others.

While a very simple component with a very simple function, the timing belt cover is also important for the proper operation of the engine. And that, in itself, is a reason to take good care of the component. Also remember to use only high quality timing belt covers whenever you need to replace them because you don't want to pay your mechanic too much just to discover that the cover won't last long. And as to your source for high quality timing belt covers, you can always count on Parts Train.
