Today we're going to take a look at some signs that you need a new one and where you can find Mitsubishi timing belts in San Antonio TX.

Signs You Need a New Timing Belt

A timing belt is part of a vehicle's internal combustion engine that helps synchronize the crankshaft and the camshaft(s) to make the engine's valves open and close at the right times during each cylinder's intake and exhaust stroke. This makes it a vital part of your vehicles mechanics and when it it wears out, it is important to replace it.

Here are some signs it might be time to replace your timing belt:

• Ticking Noise Coming from the Engine: When the timing belt starts to wear out, it may create a ticking noise inside the motor.
• Engine Won't Turn Over: If the timing belt is completely broken inside your motor, the engine will not be able to turn over and your car won't start. You might hear the start motor engage, but since the timing belt operates the crack and camshaft, it won't turn over.
• Engine Misfires: A worn out timing belt also has an affect on the engine's fire rate.
• Oil Leaking: Another sign you might need a new timing belt is if there is oil leaking from the front of the motor.
