Do you know what a timing belt is? In your car, the timing belt is the thing that measures how far your car has been driven - in total. In this article I am going to present to you very much needed information regarding when, how, why you should change the timing belt (whether you think so or not, at this moment, I think you will have come to realize the importance of this information at the end of this article).In other words this article is going to be your little timing belt replacement guide. Let's get going right away.

Do you need to replace this thing? Yes, you do. How often? Between 50-70,000 miles. The time when you should change the timing belt actually differs from car to car, or from car manufacturer to car manufacturer - and the actual time for your specific car is specified by the carmakers (so check it up).

One thing that you need to know is whether or not there should be interference when you configure the valve. If your piston and valves - inside your car - touch each other, that is very bad news. Why? Because they aren't supposed to - if you are driving a car with interference engine, that is. If you are driving a car with interference engine, and they are touching, you need to remove the head and replace the bent valves. If the timing belt is destroyed on a car that has a non-interference engine, howeverm it's not such a big deal. But, still, you are nog going to be able to drive after the timing belt has been destroyed - whether or not you are driving an interference engine car - so it is a good idea to replace the timing belt when needed.

Before you actually replace your timing belt it's important that you let the engine cool off over the night.

First thing you do, then, is to disconnect the car battery - and chock wheels.

Remove the things that cover the timing belt.

Now remove the air intake things.
