What is the maximum lifespan of a timing belt?

[Jaden]

The maximum lifespan of a timing belt is 300,000 kilometers. Below are the specific details about timing belts: 1. Replacement based on specified mileage: Timing belts are consumable parts. If a timing belt breaks, the camshaft will not operate in sync with the timing, which can lead to severe damage due to the collision between valves and pistons. Therefore, timing belts must be replaced according to the mileage or time interval specified by the manufacturer. 2. Function of timing belts: During the operation of a car engine, four processes continuously occur in the cylinders: intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust. Each step must be precisely timed with the movement and position of the pistons to ensure the intake, exhaust, and piston movements are synchronized. The timing belt, driven by the crankshaft, transmits power to the corresponding components.
