What Is Engine Timing?

Engine timing refers to the precise coordination of the engine’s moving parts, such as the camshaft and crankshaft, to maximize performance and efficiency.

It ensures that the intake and exhaust valves open and close at the correct time, allowing the engine to operate smoothly and efficiently.

Proper engine timing is crucial for maintaining fuel economy, reducing emissions, and preventing damage to the engine.

Whether your car has a timing belt or chain, it will need to be replaced every now and then to prevent it snapping and causing catastrophic damage to your engine.

Do You Need a Timing Belt or Chain Replacement?

If you’re not sure whether you need a timing belt or a timing chain replacement, we’ll help you.

Vehicles with timing belts will need them changed at set intervals, either based on mileage, age or both.

Every vehicle is different and the service interval can vary between 40,000 and 100,000 miles and, on low mileage cars, roughly every 5 years.

Timing chains are generally designed to last for the lifetime of the engine, although there are occasions where they need to be changed.

Depending on your vehicle’s make and model, as well as a visual inspection, our expert technicians can advise you whether it’s time for a change.

We Only Use Quality Parts

At Sierra Garage, we only use quality parts to give you complete peace-of-mind.

When timing belts and chains fail, they can cause catastophic damage to an engine.

That’s why we only use the highest quality parts from manufacturers such as INA, BGA, Febi and FAI.

These brands are what are known as OE (Original Equipment) manufacturers. This means they meet or exceed the quality that car manufacturers use when building the original engines.

We have such faith in the parts we use and our ability to fit them correctly, that we gaurantee our work for one year from fitting.
