Toyota OEM Timing Belts

Engine parts have to move at the right times without colliding with each other. The timing belt/cambelt (or timing chain) in your Toyota vehicle helps prevent that happening. It does so by synchronizing the movements of the crankshaft and camshaft, which enable the engine's pistons to pump and its intake and exhaust valves to open and close correctly.

Unfortunately, the belt or chain can degrade and fail, often because of use and age. Luckily, there are signs to let you know that's happening well before the worst occurs:

• Listen for ticking sounds under the hood
• Look for oil leaks at the front of the engine
• Feel for engine performance problems at lower rpm
• Look and smell for excessive exhaust smoke and fumes
• Sudden engine misfires/may not start at all. 

If the belt or chain fails, though, expect worse -- namely, timing misalignment, engine power loss, engine failure, and worst of all, damage to the engine valves and cylinder head.
