Timing Belt & Sprockets: Inspection

  1. Check belt teeth for cracks or damage. If tooth damage is found, ensure camshaft is not locked. If wear or cracks on flat belt face are found, check for nicks on one side of idler pulley lock.
  2. If wear or damage to only one side of belt is found, check belt guide and alignment of each pulley and sprocket. If noticeable wear is found on belt teeth, check timing cover gasket for damage and proper installation.
  3. Ensure there is no foreign material on sprocket teeth. Check timing belt idler pulley for smooth rotation. Replace if roughness or noise is found.
