Timing Belt Kits

The timing belt, or ‘cambelt’, connects and synchronises the crankshaft with the camshaft. This allows the engine’s inlet and outlet valves to open and close at just the right time in the cycle. Each timing kit comprises every part of the timing belt assembly. This includes tensioners, idlers, dampers, gaskets and even a water pump where required, as well as the belt itself. You must change your timing belt according to the manufacturer's instructions – this is usually every five years or every 60,000 to 100,000 miles. A whole timing belt kit ensures that every part is the same age and is fit for the job at hand; this is especially true considering that each one is designed to work with the other parts in the kit.
