What Causes Slight Idle Vibration After Replacing the Timing Belt?
1 Answers
If the alignment marks are not properly matched or if there is an angular deviation, it can lead to severe consequences for the engine. In cases of significant vibration, it is advisable to have it inspected at a 4S shop. Below are the relevant details: 1. Function of the Timing Belt: The timing belt serves as a crucial link, connecting the timing gear on the upper part of the engine cylinder head to the timing gear on the crankshaft at the lower part. The timing gear is connected to the camshaft, which has cams. These cams make contact with small rocker arms, and the force transmitted by the timing belt generates pressure, causing the rocker arms to lift. 2. Role of Lifting the Intake Valve: Lifting the intake valve allows atomized gasoline to enter the cylinder, while lifting the exhaust valve enables the expulsion of exhaust gases from the cylinder. When the recessed areas of the camshaft (note: not the raised areas) simultaneously contact the small rocker arms, both the intake and exhaust valves close, creating compression. The distributor then sparks, initiating combustion and generating power.
