This got brought up. I never thought about it, but having a gentleman's argument over the speed that the timing belt spins.
I would think he belt turns at the same speed as the crank sprocket which is the engines rpm. Kinda of a thinking question though. Cam sprockets spin at 1/2 speed of rpm, but that is due to the "gear" reduction in the cam gears. So in theory wouldn't the belt be moving the same speed as the crankshaft sprocket?
