The timing system consists of several mechanical components. The main drive sprocket is attached to the engine crankshaft outside the crankcase on the front of the engine. The drive sprocket has six teeth that engage holes on the timing chain. The chain runs around the drive sprocket and the larger cam shaft sprocket.

Which engine component is responsible for engine timing?

most vehicles on the road today are equipped with a toothed timing belt. The timing belt is a critical component which controls the opening of the valves by the cam shaft while precisely synchronising the engine timing.

What causes engine timing issues?

Timing chain stretch can be a frustrating issue for car owners. There are several causes for this problem, including poor maintenance, lack of lubrication, and general wear and tear on the engine. Regular maintenance is critical to minimize the likelihood of timing chain stretch.
