Engine Valves
Engine valves are a vital part of the combustion process, controlling the flow of air, fuel, and exhaust gases in and out of the cylinders. Reliable valves ensure efficient performance, smooth running, and long-term durability of your engine.
What Engine Valves Do and When to Replace Them
Made from heat-resistant alloys, engine valves are precision-engineered to open and close at exact intervals, regulating intake and exhaust cycles. Over time, they can suffer from wear, pitting, or burning due to high temperatures and constant movement. Symptoms of valve issues may include reduced performance, misfires, or increased oil consumption, highlighting the need for timely replacement.
There are different types of engine valves, such as intake valves that draw in air and fuel, and exhaust valves that release burnt gases. The correct choice depends on engine size, design, and model year, as well as whether an OEM-style replacement or aftermarket part is most suitable. Ensuring proper fitment is crucial, as even minor variations can affect compression and overall efficiency.
To maintain power and reliability, confirm compatibility with your vehicle before ordering. Select the correct engine valves for your application and add them to your basket today.
