Toyota OEM Timing Belts

Your Toyota vehicle comes equipped with a timing belt. Without it, your engine wouldn't be able to work properly. But what does this belt do? It controls the movement and timing of the engine's camshaft and crankshaft, which are responsible for opening and closing the engine's valves.

The camshaft controls the opening and closing of the engine's intake and exhaust valves. On the other hand, the crankshaft converts the up and down motion of the engine's pistons into rotational motion that drives the wheels.

The timing belt ensures that the camshaft and crankshaft are in sync and the valves open and close at the right time. It also helps to prevent the pistons from hitting the valves.

What Are the Signs of a Bad Toyota Timing Belt?

It's not uncommon for a timing belt to show signs of failure. Luckily, it's easy to spot the signs. Some of the most common include:

• Your engine not turning over
• Hearing a ticking noise coming from the engine
• Finding an oil leak near the motor
• Having problems with the exhaust (for example; it's producing more smoke than usual)

If you don't come across any of the signs above, it's recommended to replace the timing belt every 90,000 km or 72 months, whichever occurs first.
