Timing Belt Replacement in Pensacola, FL

Inside of your vehicle’s engine, there is a part known as the timing belt. This ribbed belt helps synchronize the rotations of the crankshaft and camshaft, meaning that it keeps the top half of the engine in sync with the bottom.

When a timing belt needs to be replaced, specialized care must be taken. That is why it is important to call an experienced auto mechanic from East Burgess Automotive Inc. Our techs make sure that the valve and piston movements are correctly matched. If they are not properly matched, this can lead to many problems.

Replacements

Timing belts need to be replaced at recommended times put into place by the manufacturer of the belt. Usually this turns into 60,000 miles or 5 years, whichever comes first. Failure to do so can cause a breakdown or engine failure. Save yourself time and money by getting your timing belt replaced at East Burgess Automotive.
Problems with timing belts include:

  • Wearing of “teeth”
  • Unraveling of fibers

  • Breaking of belt
  • Loss of tension

Older vehicles are built with timing belts, whereas newer vehicles may have switched to metal timing chains, aimed at lasting longer.
