The timing belt is an integral part of an internal combustion engine. It is also called a timing chain or cambelt. The timing belt is responsible for synchronizing the rotation of the camshaft with the crankshaft.
The purpose behind a timing belt is to ensure that an engine's valves operate in a proper manner. The timing belt operates to open and close valves with each cylinder's intake and exhaust. As a general rule, a timing belt is what commonly is described as a toothed belt. In other words, it is a type of drive belt with teeth located on the inside surface.
