Frequently Asked Questions
Spark plugs are made for durability and should be replaced every 80,000 to 100,000 miles. They can be damaged sooner than anticipated and need to be replaced in order to prevent expensive engine repairs.
Rubber is the main component of the timing belt. It eventually rots and then breaks. Your car will stop if this happens. The car will not start until it is “re-timed” and the belt is replaced. Some cars can be fixed with a new belt, while others require you to have the car towed.
Timing belts are essential for the proper operation of your car’s engines. The Camshaft and the crankshaft are the main shafts in your engine. These two shafts are connected by the timing belt, which makes them turn at the correct “time”. This is similar to how a bicycle chain links the pedals to a back wheel. This ensures that all other motor goodies, such as valves and pistons, are jumping and hopping at the correct “time”. This is why called a timing belt.
The main parts of an engine are: Spark plugs, valves, pistons, and piston rings, connecting rod, crankshaft, sump.
