Engine Timing Belt Service

 

WHY SHOULD I HAVE TIMING BELT INSPECTION & REPLACEMENT SERVICE

You should have your timing belt inspected and replace it if it is necessary. Most vehicle manufacturers recommend having it inspected at somewhere between 60,000 to 90,000 miles. You may notice some signs that your timing belt or chain is wearing. The one that most often presents itself is a noise. If you have a timing belt, it is a squeaking sound and with a timing chain, it is a rattling sound. A close inspection of your timing belt and other components in your vehicle is done comprehensively by a Chevrolet mechanic to spot many other signs of wear and if you need to replace your timing belt or chain.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON'T HAVE TIMING BELT INSPECTION & REPLACEMENT SERVICE NOW?

If your timing belt breaks, then you are on the side of the road because it is needed for your engine to run. Your timing belt may have material loss, abrasion, cracking, glazing, pilling, hydroplaning, elongation or be misaligned and need to be replaced. These various problems can occur on the entire length of the timing belt or may be evident only on the bottom side of it or the top side of it. A close inspection is needed to identify these problem areas and wear by a certified mechanic. If you notice any sounds, you should get it checked out right away with an inspection. If you don't and your camshaft and crankshaft are out of alignment, the valve timing will be incorrect and you can get bent valves, bent piston rods or destroyed pistons and need to have an entire engine rebuild. This is a very serious and expensive item for not getting a timing belt inspection at the correct intervals for your vehicle.
