On an overhead cam engine, the lobes on the cam push the rocker arms which push the valves open.

Why we open the inlet valve on the exhaust stroke and the exhaust valve on power stroke?

While there may be some overlap of valve opening timing, generally speaking, the exhaust valve opens after the power stroke, and the intake valve opens after the exhaust stroke. Recap... We start the combustion cycle of a standard 4-stroke engine with the intake stroke, the intake valve is open and the vacuum created by the downward movement of the piston draws in the air/fuel mixture from the intake manifold. The intake valve closes as the piston rounds bottom dead center and the compression stroke begins on the upward movement of the piston. At or near the top of the compression stroke, the spark plug fires (both valves are closed at this point) and begins the downward power stroke. As the piston rounds bottom dead center again, the exhaust valve opens to allow the piston to push out the exhaust gasses during the upward exhaust stroke. As the piston gets to the top, the exhaust valve closes and the intake valve opens to start the process over again.


What is the valve size in your set of heads?

Depends on the heads. The size is different for the exhaust valve and the intake valve, and different engines have different size valves. The valves are mechanical devices in the engine heads that open and close. The intake valve opens to let the air/gas mixture into the combustion chamber,. Both valves close the combustion chamber during the compression stroke, and the exhaust valve opens to let the burnt gas out during the exhaust stroke.

What is valve overlap?

Valve overlap occurs in a four-stroke engine at the end of the Exhaust stroke and at the beginning of the Induction stroke; and is when both the exhaust and inlet valves are open at the same time. At the end of the Exhaust stroke, the Exhaust valve is closing and the Inlet valve is starting to open in preparation for the induction of fuel and air into the cylinder. It is common knowledge that in vehicles that cannot alter the valve timing, the Inlet valve opens approx 6 degrees before top-dead-centre and the Exhaust valve closes at 9 degrees after top-dead-centre


How many intake events are there in one revolution of a four cylinder engine?

There is only one intake stroke in a four-stroke engine. The other three strokes are compression, power, and exhaust. The intake stroke is a down stroke of the piston in which fuel is drawn into the cylinder while the fuel intake valve is open. The next stroke is the compression stroke in which the valves are closed and the fuel is compressed for combustion. The following stroke is the power stroke - a downward stroke of the piston after fuel combustion that drives the crankshaft. The final stroke is the exhaust stroke, an upward stroke of the piston as the exhaust valve opens to relieve the exhaust fuel fumes.
