Helps the engine to breathe better and increases HP.
The exhaust lifters will line up with the exhaust manifolds,Remove the valve cover if your working on a V8 and the valve that lines up with the exhaust port will be the exhaust valve,If it is a Chevy V8 they will be from standing in front of the car exhaust,intake,intake,exhaust,exhaust,intake,intake,exhaust.
the bigger valve is always the intake valve on any car......you have a 350 so its a v8 so you have 8 intake valves and 8 exhaust valves ..........
.005- open-intake and exhaust..
I think it's your EGR Valve. The EGR valve, or Exhaust Gas Recirculation valve, is a vacuum controlled valve which allows a specific amount of your exhaust back into the intake manifold.The EGR valve, or Exhaust Gas Recirculation valve, is a vacuum controlled valve which allows a specific amount of your exhaust back into the intake manifold. You'll know if your EGR valve is stuck or malfunctioning because your car will experience symptoms like rough idle and bucking on acceleration.

Trace the runners. You can see the exhaust runners leading to the exhaust valves, and the intake runners leading to the intake valves.
Close one hole of your nose and try to breath in. Feel any difference. Coming back to the subject. By increasing the # of valves you get the below features. a) better combustion chamber shape, resulting in better combustion, resulting in better power and fuel economy. There are intake valves and exhaust valves. On the intake side, the intake valve opens which lets the fuel/air mixture into the combusion chamber. At some point (measured in degrees of crank rotation) the intake valve closes, the air/fuel mixture is compressed and ignited by the spark plug. Then the spent mixture exits the cylinder when the exhaust valve opens. Valve configuration varies somewhat, but regardless of how many valves there are there will always be at least one intake and one exhaust valve. Some cylinder heads have 2 intake and 2 exhaust valves which is what is described as the 4-valve per cylinder setup. As the first two responders pointed out, you have intake valves, which let air in a diesel, or air plus gas in a gasoline engine, into the cylinder; and exhaust valves, which let the spent gases leave the cylinder. One important thing multiple valves can do for you is to let the spark plug be put in the center of the cylinder, from where the flame front can radiate evenly through the chamber. A 16-valve engine (if it's a 4-cylinder) has two intake and two exhaust valves. A 16-valve engine could also be an 8-cylinder engine with 1 intake and 1 exhaust valve per cylinder. A 12-valve engine has two intake and one exhaust valve (if it's a 4 cylinder engine). a 12-valve engine may also be a 6-cylinder engine with 1 intake and 1 exhaust valve per cylinder. evan was here
it located in very bad area between the firewall and the intake manifold,actually it is on the intake manifold.if you want to reach the egr valve yo have to go under the car and take off exhaust pipe before the catalytic converter.
It would be best to have this conversation with the person that installed the cam. The general rule of thumb that applies to any cam in any car is to set the intake valve rocker when the exhaust valve just starts to open, and set the exhaust valve rocker after the intake starts to close. You would need the cam card to determine the amount of backlash or preload.
The metal disk part of one of the valves (intake or exhaust, usually the exhaust as it is under the most stress in operation) in one of the engine's cylinders has cracked. This allows gasses from the cylinder to escape, causing that cylinder to be "weaker" than the other ones, increasing engine vibration. If the crack is in an exhaust valve (as it usually is), unburned hydrocarbons in the escaping gas will cause the car to fail emissions testing. If the crack is in an intake valve, very hot escaping gas can cause a type of "backfire" in the engine's air intake system.
Yes you CAN start your car w/o the exhaust manifold mounted.....However, if you do, you are VERY likely to crack a valve. Your exhaust system protects the valves from cool air contacting a hot valve.
