Extended data:

Timing belt is an important part of engine valve system. It is connected with the crankshaft and cooperates with a certain transmission ratio to ensure the accuracy of intake and exhaust time. The reason why the belt is used instead of gear transmission is because the belt has low noise, small self-change and easy compensation. Obviously, the life of the belt is definitely shorter than that of the metal gear, so the belt should be replaced regularly.
