The Engine Timing Belt’s Job

The Engine Timing Belt on your Cadillac vehicle is a vital part because it synchronizes the rotation of the crankshaft and the camshaft so that the engine's valves open and close at the perfect times during each cylinder intake and exhaust strokes. At Cable Dahmer Cadillac of Kansas City, we always recommend following Cadillac’s timing belt replacement interval outlined in your owner’s manual; however, if you have a timing belt showing signs of potential failure, then we strongly recommend scheduling a Cadillac Engine Timing Belt Replacement Service to replace the belt before you have a total breakdown or catastrophic engine failure with expensive damages.

    Signs that you need a Cadillac Engine Timing Belt Replacement Service

    • If you have any of these signs of a failing timing belt, we strongly recommend immediate service before the problem gets out of hand: 
    • You can hear a ticking noise from the engine 
    • When trying to start your engine, it simply won’t turn over 
    • Your engine has a misfire condition
    • The check engine light is on

    When Timing Belts Break, It Can Cause Other Damages 

    If you have a faulty timing belt, it will eventually break. If it breaks, many moving parts will immediately become out of sequence and will start impacting each other. Outside of the noise that you’ll hear, the parts that touch one other can become damaged very quickly. Common damages that occur alongside a broken timing usually include cylinder heads, camshaft, piston, cylinder wall, and bent valves.
