Will the Timing Belt Age After 8 Years?

[MacBeckett]

Under normal circumstances, the timing belt will age after 8 years. Purpose of the Timing Belt: The timing belt serves as a connecting link between the preceding and the following. The upper part connects to the timing pulley on the engine cylinder head, while the lower part connects to the crankshaft timing pulley. The timing pulley is connected to the camshaft, which has cams. The contact points of these cams are the rocker arms. The rocker arms generate pressure through the power transmitted by the timing belt, creating a lifting effect. Advantages of the Timing Belt: The timing belt has been used in engines for a long time, featuring mature technology, lower cost, and reduced noise. However, it requires regular inspection and maintenance, typically needing replacement every 50,000 to 100,000 kilometers.
