Timing Belt Replacement near Reston, Virginia

Replacement involves removal of the timing belt cover and tensioner, the timing belt itself, and, finally the timing belt pulley. It may also be necessary for the motor mounts, engine cooling fans, radiator and other engine accessories to be removed. Installation requires that the proper amount of tension is applied to the timing belt and its related components. Once all the timing parts are back in place, the engine will be tested to make sure it's working right.

Because timing belt replacement requires so much deconstruction and putting the right amount of tension on the belt, this repair should be left to a professional mechanic.
