Over the past decades, it is not only the combustion engine that has evolved. Engine timing<\/a> has also become more and more high-performance. This is especially true for the timing belt<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1962, a\ncar engine equipped with a timing belt was mass-produced for the first time.\nThis groundbreaking invention was a real revolution for the belt drive at the\ntime. Since then, a wide variety of makes and models worldwide have relied on\nthis type of engine timing. With the development of new materials and tooth\ndesigns, the service life of timing belts has also increased, as they are more\nresistant to extreme temperatures and better able to withstand high loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
