What happens if valves are not seated properly?

Improperly seated valves can cause a loss of compression which will result in a loss of some power. Eventually it will burn the valve. If it’s the intake valve it will cough/pop back thru the intake. If it’s the exhaust it could backfire.

Do intake valves open against higher pressure than exhaust valves?

Originally Answered: Why inlet valve is big than exhaust valve? In intake stroke, the opening is bigger to allow the sufficient amount of air or air fuel mixture to get in the cylinder. In exhaust, no need for wider opening because the pressure inside cylinder is enough for pushing exhaust gases outside the chamber.

Why are the intake and exhaust valves of most engines designed to overlap?

Valve overlap is designed into the engine and is most useful at higher speeds. At higher speeds, the extra amount of intake charge brought into the combustion chamber provides a substantial increase in available power. The amount of time that both valves are open in directly related to engine rpm.

What will happens if valve clearance is too big?

Too much or too little valve clearance can result in poor performance or a rough idle because the engine can’t “breathe” normally and operate at peak efficiency. Too much clearance means the valves will likely clatter and, over the long term, cause damage to the valves, camshaft lobes or rocker arms.

What happens when intake valves leak?

If the intake valve was leaking it would cause the engine to backfire threw the carburetor or EFI system . The engine would be down on power and would run roughly. The best way to find out if your valve needs replacement is to get boroscopy performed.

Is intake bigger than exhaust valve?

The intake air is sucked by vacuum, and the exhaust gas is pushed out to push the exhaust gas. Therefore, exhaust is easier than intake. Therefore, the intake valve is generally designed to be larger than the exhaust valve to reduce the difficulty of intake and increase the amount of intake air.

Is an intake or exhaust valve bigger?

The larger intake valve allows more fuel/air charge to be drawn in. All the intake charge has is pressure differential working for it, while the exhaust valve can be smaller because the exhaust is forced out by the piston. That’s why intake manifold and intake port design is so important.

What happens to the exhaust valve during the exhaust stroke?

Exhaust stroke: during the exhaust stroke, the inlet valve remains closed whilst the exhaust valve opens. The moving piston pushes the burned fumes through the now open exhaust port and another intake stroke starts again. During one cycle, the piston makes two round trips and the crankshaft revolves twice.

Can valve adjustment misfire?

Bad valve adjustment can totally cause misfire.

Can tight valves cause misfire?

They would have to be grossly of of adjustment( for loose valves) to cause misfiring. Tight valves could easily cause misfiring though.
