IN OTHER WORDS--WHEN THE BELT IS INSTALLED CORRECTLY, ALIGNMENT MARKS ARE LINED UP IN CERTAIN MANNER. IF THEY WERE NOT LINED UP CORRECTLY THE VALVES ARE NOT GONNA OPEN AND CLOSE AT THE RIGHT TIMES.
WORST THING IS, IF THIS IS A "INTERFERENCE ENGINE" IF THE VALVES ARE NOT "IN SYNC" WITH THE PISTONS GOING UP AND DOWN, THEY HIT EACH OTHER AND MAJOR DAMAGE OCCURS.
THIS MIGHT HAPPEN BECAUSE THE BELT IS_____INSTALLED WRONG_______BROKE (POSSIBLE BECAUSE IT WAS NOT CHANGED AT RECOMMENDED MILEAGE_______THE BELT (STRETCHED OLD BELT OR ENGINE WEAR) SORTA CLIMBS OVER THE COGS, ONE OR MORE.
THIS LAST SITUATION (ABOVE) PUTS IT OUT OF TIME TOO. THIS IS CALLED JUMPING A TOOTH, OR JUMPING TIMING.
THIS SAME SITUATION CAN HAPPEN WITH VEHICLES WITH A "TIMING CHAIN" IF THE CHAIN IS REAL WORN OR STRETCHED, IT WILL START CLIMBING THE COGS.
EVER HAD A REALLY RUSTY BICYCLE CHAIN, ON A BIKE? AS YOU PEDAL, THE CHAIN'S LINKS DON'T FLEX/ BEND AT THE PIVOT POINTS. USUALLY THE CHAIN STARTS SORTA JUMPING OVER THE TEETH/ GEAR/ COGS. THAT IS THE MEANING OF "JUMPING A TOOTH/ TEETH"
DECENT EXPLANATION?
