Why Timing Belt Replacement is Critical
On interference engines, a broken timing belt causes the pistons and valves to collide, resulting in bent valves, damaged pistons, and potentially a destroyed cylinder head or engine block. This type of damage can cost thousands of dollars to repair. Regular timing belt replacement is inexpensive insurance against catastrophic failure.
