What is Exhaust and intake valve?

As an air/fuel mixture is drawn into the intake ports, intake valves open to allow the mixture to enter the cylinder. On the exhaust stroke of an engine, the exhaust valves open, allowing the burned air/fuel mixture to exit out the exhaust ports. Intake valves are larger than exhaust valves, and are able to be found on the "cold" or intake side of the cylinder head(s).

What is meant by the term valve overlap?

There is a short time between the exhaust and intake stroke where all the valves are slightly open at the same time. This period of time is called valve overlap. This is because the intake valves are just starting to open as the exhaust valves are just finishing closing. This is done so flow through the engine can be maintained at engine operating speeds.
