why do manufacturers use wet belts?
Why wet belts are used in engines like Ford’s 1.0L EcoBoost?
Manufacturers use wet belts (oil-bathed timing belts) primarily for reduced friction, improved fuel efficiency, quieter operation, and enabling more compact engine designs, helping meet emissions targets by lowering drag compared to dry belts or chains
Whilst there are some benefits of having a wet timing belts, there are also some major disadvantages with them such as a faster deteriorating timing belt due to the oils degrading properties on the timing belt. Oil is a contaminant to rubber and fibre like materials.
This causes the rubber and fibres to come away from the belt and usually getting stuck in the oil pick up and other engine components. This can cause problems with oil pressure, vacuum pressure and can even cause premature engine wear and catastrophic engine damage.
