Best Answer

Almost All engines with a carburetor have a float valve. The exception is a carburetor Built by Tillotson, horrible things but they worked upside down.

Why does NASCAR use pushrod engines?

It helps keep speeds down. A pushrod engine can only turn so many RPMs before the engine isn't able to properly control the valve train. It's called "float." When the valves float, you lose power. An overhead-cam engine directly controls the valves, so engines set up thusly can turn far faster than pushrod engines. And all else equal, the faster your engine turns, the faster your car goes.


Do valves bend after timing belt breaks?

In many cars YES, but not all cars.The engines will be "Interference Engines" or "Noninterference engines"When the belt breaks in interference engines the valves strike the pistons and bend.

How many valves does a 2stroke engine have?

As any 4 stroke engines, it depends on the amount of cylinders it has although it is commonly said that "2 stroke engines do not have valves", this saying mainly applies to out boards, weed eaters and these types of engine, but some GM engines such as the 671s and some others do carry valves.


Does a two stroke engine have only one valve per cylinder?

Some two stroke engines have 4 valves, Detroit Diesel 71 series and 53 series engines for example. Most small 2 stroke engines have no "Valves" at all in the sense of the "POP" valve used in four stroke engines. Some people feel these engine has one valve because the piston acts as the valve covering the ports cut into the cylinder walls.


Why are valve clearances different on each valve?

Intake valves run cooler than exhaust valves and they are made of different material, so their thermal expansion is less than the exhaust valves. Therefore, they can have a smaller valve lash clearance, since they won't 'grow' as much due to thermal expansion, and won't present the problem of slamming into the top of the piston as readily as exhaust valves with too-small valve lash clearances will. But, not all engines have dissimilar valve lash clearances on intake and exhaust. Many small single-cylinder engines have exactly the same clearance on both intake and exhaust valves.


How many valves does dodge stratus?

Depending on which engine you have and if the engine is a dohc engine four cylinder engines have two valves per cylinder totaling eight, unless it is a dohc then it has four valves per cylinder then it would have sixteen, the same holds true for the six cylinder engines with single cam engines having twelve and duel overhead cam engines having twenty four
