A Timing Belt in the Automotive industry refers to a ribbed belt that synchronizes the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft(s) in an internal combustion engine, ensuring precise timing between piston movement and valve opening/closing. Constructed from high-tensile rubber reinforced with fiber cords for durability, it's a critical component affecting engine performance and longevity. Regular inspection and replacement intervals are essential to prevent catastrophic failure leading to expensive repairs. Timing Belts can be found under the category "Automotive Parts" and often require specialized paint, known as Automotive Paint, for optimal visual appeal and protection against corrosion or wear.
