Ford Engine Timing 101

The Ford engine has many moving parts that need to be in a perfect sequence to generate drive power effectively and efficiently. The precise orchestration of these moving parts comes down to one single component, the engine timing belt. The timing belt is a durable part but its vital natural demands routine inspections and replacement if it is found to be damaged.

Warning Signs of a Faulty Timing Belt

If you notice any of the warning signs of a faulty engine timing belt, we cannot stress enough how important it is to get it inspected swiftly and replaced if found to be outside of specifications. Here are the warning signs of a faulty engine timing belt:

• Engine will not start
• Engine misfires
• Ticking noise from under the hood
• Oil leaking at the front of the engine

What Happens if the Timing Belt Breaks While Driving?

This is a big problem because the camshaft will stop turning and the valves will be left open. This can cause internal components that were in sequence to impact each other causing damages, such as broken valves, pistons, and cylinder heads. This is why knowing the warning signs of faulty engine timing is equally as important as responding promptly with service if they surface in your driving experience.
