Timing Belts

Timing belts are very important car component which is used to control the opening and closing of the engine's valves by turning the camshaft and crankshaft at the right speeds. The timing belt is what helps control the action of your car's pistons and valves that are present in the cylinders of your vehicle. Timing belts are usually located in housings or covers that keep it protected from a range of oil and grime that is present in the engine compartment.
