About Timing Belt Replacement They can go as long as 100,000 miles although it’s always a good idea to change it before then. Belt failure can cause extensive damage to the valves, pistons and other internal parts of the engine.

Do Kia’s have timing chains or belts?

There is a timing chain on the engine of the Kia Rio. My opinion is that this is better than replacing the belt and should not affect the vehicle’s performance permanently. For a chain to last more than 300,000 miles, a timing belt must be replaced every 60,000 to 100,000 miles.

Why won’t my timing marks line up?

The reason the marks don’t line up after you turn over the engine is that the marks aren’t symmetrical. There are 211 teeth in the timing belt. From the bottom center mark, where the printing is, there are 75 teeth on the left side, and 77 on the right side, and 59 teeth between the top two marks.

Where are the timing marks?

A timing mark is an indicator used for setting the timing of the ignition system of an engine, typically found on the crankshaft pulley (as pictured) or the flywheel, being the largest radius rotating at crankshaft speed and therefore the place where marks at one degree intervals will be farthest apart.
