Is the Geely Emgrand EC718 equipped with a timing belt or a timing chain?
1 Answers
Geely Emgrand EC718's engine timing system is not a timing belt but a timing chain, which does not require replacement and only needs regular inspection. Introduction to Timing Belt: The timing belt (Timing-belt) is an essential component of the engine's valve system. It connects to the crankshaft and ensures accurate intake and exhaust timing through a specific transmission ratio. Purpose of Timing Belt: The timing belt serves as a link between the upper and lower parts. The upper part connects to the timing wheel on the engine cylinder head, while the lower part connects to the crankshaft timing wheel. The timing wheel is connected to the camshaft, which has cams. These cams contact small rocker arms, and the rocker arms generate pressure through the power transmitted by the timing belt, performing a lifting function.
