Automotive Tips from L and M Motors Inc: Knowing When Your Timing Belt Should Be Replaced
Posted October 21, 2015 12:00 PMThe timing belt in your engine controls the opening and closing of the intake and exhaust valves. Anchorage drivers need to replace it on a schedule to avoid failure.
Timing belts are very difficult to get to, requiring quite a bit of labor to access. Timing belt replacement is one of the more expensive maintenance services, but the cost at L and M Motors Inc to correct an engine damaged by a broken timing belt is much, much more.
The timing belt has a tensioner to help maintain proper belt tension. The tensioner should be replaced along with the timing belt and any idler pulleys at the vehicle manufacturer’s specified service interval. Your L and M Motors Inc service advisor can help you with the timing belt.
