The timing belt happens to be one of the most capital elements of an automobile. But, if you really don't pay attention, breaking a belt will sometimes damage major engine problems. Everyone has heard that it is important to change the timing belt, on the Toyota Mtrc or on any style of car. In order to fully understand the subject, we will go around the question about the timing belt: What is it for, why change it, when to change it, and finally how to change it. Discover in fact a complete specific file of timing belt!
What is the purpose of a timing belt on a Toyota Mtrc?
In order to understand the action of the belt of this Toyota Mtrc, it is necessary to understand what is a distribution. In fact, distribution is the entirety of the mechanical parts that controls the admission phase (the valves) of the air-fuel mixture, But also exhaust. This timing belt is a toothed belt, driven through the crankshaft pinion, which in turn encourages the pulley camshaft. According to the styles of vehicles, the latter may at the same time drive the pulley of the injection pump as well as the pulley of the water pump on most of the engines. If we sum up, this is the timing belt that will allow to drive the pistons and different parts of the engine block so synchronized.
Why change the timing belt on a Toyota Mtrc?
Because of its material in caoutchouc, the distribution belt will deteriorate over time. If you drive a lot, the walking belt becomes much less flexible and much less enduring. This characteristic is all the more high if you drive intramural, with frequent starts. If, on the contrary, you drive very little, the belt will sometimes slip deform if it stays in the same position all the time. The moment this belt bursts or comes off, it creates a engine stop instant. In addition, with the voltage, this could cause multiple parts of the engine. It is therefore essential to pay attention to it. We will suddenly see when it will have to be changed.
When to change the timing belt on a Toyota Mtrc?
The problem with the belt is that it does not necessarily have a wear indicator. It is not obvious to assess its wear, especially since it is difficult to access in your engine. The easiest way not to create a broken engine block is to read the manufacturer's information. However, it is often wiser to trust garage owners. It is generally advisable to change them every 100 000 kilometers, or every 5 years. Some causes, such as coolant or oil leaks, can damage the belt prematurely.
How to change the timing belt on a Toyota Mtrc?
Replacing the timing belt on a Toyota Mtrc is not easy. Indeed, it’s a capital element of the engine block, that’s why when it’s not done perfectly, it will inevitably create damage major on the engine block. This action is in fact not recommended without the presence of a mechanic. In order to change the timing belt, you must first purchase the distribution kit whole. You will find below therefore the phases to respect to change the famous belt:
- Make sure to loosen the tensioner pulley so that the belt is relaxed.
- Remove the timing belt.
- Disassemble all the roller rollers and the water pump.
- Replace the new water pump
- Place the rollers in their respective locations
- Add the timing belt in place, respecting the marks
- Tension the belt following the recommended tension using a blood pressure monitor
- Rotate the engine block by hand, which corresponds to 4 city turns
Conclusion
It seems essential to master a few points before embarking on work. The belt happens to be a capital component of the engine, it’s the latter that will allow you to synchronize a few games. Its inevitable wear makes it important to change it rather regularly. If we leave it too late, sometimes everything will damage the engine irreparably. And finally, it is essential to have excellent mechanical skills before embarking on these repairs. Voila, the key is in your pocket. Good road !
