Genuine Mazda Tribute Timing Belt

Mazda Tribute Timing Belt is the flexible fiber-reinforced drive strip that ensures that the crankshaft and camshafts move precisely in tandem, thus keeping the opening of the valves in harmony with the piston movement to ensure the delivery of power in an efficient manner and the prevention of expensive internal collisions. In contrast to the metal chains and gears of older overhead-valve designs, the belt applied in current Mazda engines is easily directed around pulleys, produces no noise, does not require any lubrication and provides a reliable service life of 60,000 miles or more because the rubber compounds are better. To maintain the belt at the appropriate load, a spring-loaded tensioner and supporting idler pulleys are applied to prevent tooth skip, which would leave an interference engine out of step and stalled. A single simple Timing Belt design is the only one that has been installed during the Tribute production years; however, later models have acquired curved teeth to reduce sound, which helps smoother operation compared to the straight-cut profile of the first units. Checking is also a crucial step, as cracks, missing teeth, ragged edges, or ponded oil or coolant indicate that the component must be replaced immediately, and considerate owners replace the automatic tensioner, idlers, and water pump during the same work, as the belt rotates the pump. Adhering to the Mazda maintenance schedule and timing the replacement of the Timing Belt as stipulated in the schedule keep performance sharp, fuel consumption at minimal levels, and make a Mazda always ready to start.
