In most piston engines, the camshaft(s) are mechanically linked to the crankshaft. The crankshaft drives the camshaft — via a timing belt, timing chain, or pushrods — to actuate the intake and exhaust valves, enabling the engine to draw in air (or an air/fuel mixture) and expel exhaust gases.
The most common drive mechanisms include toothed rubber timing belts, metal chains, or gear sets. Their precisely engineered teeth engage with both the crankshaft and camshaft(s), ensuring perfect synchronization of valve timing.
TSP timing belt kits provide a complete solution for timing belt replacement — including every essential component for a fast, reliable, and leak-free installation.
TSP leverages advanced CAD design and premium-grade materials to manufacture complete timing belt kits that deliver quiet, maintenance-free operation and OE-level reliability. Each replacement timing belt kit is conveniently packaged in a single box and typically includes the timing belt, tensioner pulley, idler pulley, and mounting hardware — everything needed for a professional timing belt replacement.
Every component undergoes rigorous testing for fit, function, and durability across extreme temperatures and load conditions. For precise vehicle compatibility, consult our online E-catalog with full OE cross-reference data.
