You may be acquainted with the fact the there your Acura vehicle is equipped with a timing belt. The timing belt is used to control the speed of the rotation of the camshaft in synch with the rotation of the crankshaft. However, there are certain Acura models that make use of timing chains instead of timing belts. There are also some Acura vehicles that make use of both on a single vehicle. These certain Acura vehicles use the Acura belt as the main camshaft drive system, thanks to the vehicle's lightweight and smooth driving characteristics.

But, in order to connect the regular cams to the variable valve timing mechanism, they make use of the Acura timing chain since the distance is much shorter between the regular cams and the valves. If you have this model of Acura vehicle, you are certainly having the best of both worlds. But many still prefer the belts from the chains since they run much smoother and they run with much less noise. Though, the belts would have to be changed at every lapse of the service interval for it to be always efficient and effective. If the regular service interval is not followed, you will very well be experiencing trouble with the belt on your Acura vehicle.

If you rarely check the belt of your Acura vehicle, now is the time to get started in the regular maintenance. A worn out timing belt can bring havoc to the valves and the cams of your Acura so you have to make sure that they are in good condition, always. In replacing the belt, you also have to be careful.
