The timing belt rotates the cam shafts which open and close the valves that allow air, fuel, and exhaust to flow through the engine as it powers your car when you drive around ROSEVILLE.An old timing belt can lose a “tooth” in the belt allowing it to slip.

In “interference” engines, open valves can get in the way of the piston when the timing belt breaks or slips.
