Timing Belt

The process of opening and closing the valves is done by a rubber timing belt. At Lake Norman, we recommend that you replace your vehicle’s timing belt every 60,000 to 105,000 miles or according to manufacturer recommended intervals. They should also be replaced at the first signs of wear—a broken timing belt will not only make your vehicle inoperable, but it can cause serious damage to other components in the engine. Your timing belt will make an average of 30 million revolutions each year—make sure it makes another 30 million next year by coming to Lake Norman!
