Belts in the engine and ignition categories are extremely important for the adjustment and performance of various engine components. The timing belt ensures that the motor valves open and close at the right time, while the serpentine straps drive critical systems such as alternators, water pumps, and power steering. These belts are extremely important to the power of the engine, and regular maintenance is important to avoid engine damage and to ensure reliability.

The belt categories within engine and ignition systems include components that transfer mechanical performance to essential engine accessories. Serpentine belts provide several systems with a single continuous loop, and timing belts synchronize the internal components of the engine. Both are crucial for proper motor function, fuel efficiency and total vehicle performance.
