Operation: The reasons why it is necessary to change the timing belt.

If we ignore the warnings that the car sends us when the timing belt is about to break (the belt becomes stiff, frayed, etc.) and then it breaks, it causes significant damage. If the transmission belt breaks while we are traveling, we cannot know in which position the camshafts have stopped, most likely the valves have stopped open. When we try to restart the engine, the piston hits against the open valves and bends them, causing great damage. When this happens, we have to dismantle the entire cylinder head, which is a very expensive job. So the advice is: maintain your car and keep an eye on the timing belt. It is an expensive job, but never as expensive as rebuilding the entire engine.
