Valve operation:
The valves are generally powered by an electronic actuator, which activates (opens) at a certain engine RPM, ideally the actuator would be tuned to operate the valve continuously over the entire rev range, with the valve blocking the flow at low rpm, and opening up to allow free flow of exhaust gases at high rpm.
Why it works?
The 4 stroke exhaust powervalve increases backpressure, depending on engine configuration this may be to reduce inlet charge flowing out of the cylinder on engines with large valve overlap (both inlet and exhaust valves open). This is just an opinion, im not an expert on the subject. But i am awesome.

What do Both valves on a four stroke reciprocating engine open the?
In a four-stroke reciprocating engine, both valves—the intake valve and the exhaust valve—open to facilitate the engine's four distinct strokes: intake, compression, power, and exhaust. The intake valve opens to allow the air-fuel mixture into the combustion chamber during the intake stroke, while the exhaust valve opens to release exhaust gases after combustion during the exhaust stroke. This coordinated opening and closing of the valves ensure efficient engine operation and optimal performance.
Are Both valves closed on the power and exhaust strokes?
In a four-stroke engine, both the intake and exhaust valves are closed during the power stroke, allowing for maximum pressure to build from the combustion of the air-fuel mixture. Similarly, during the exhaust stroke, both valves are also closed momentarily after the power stroke until the piston moves up to expel the exhaust gases. However, the intake valve opens before the power stroke begins, and the exhaust valve opens at the end of the power stroke to facilitate the exhaust process. Thus, while both valves are closed during the power and exhaust strokes themselves, they open at specific times in the cycle.
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.
Describe the position of the intake valve and the exhaust valve during each stroke of a four stroke engine?
In a four-stroke engine, the intake valve opens in the intake stroke, allowing air-fuel mixture to enter, while the exhaust valve remains closed. During the compression stroke, both valves stay closed to build pressure. In the power stroke, the fuel ignites, pushing the piston down, with both valves still closed to retain pressure. Finally, in the exhaust stroke, the exhaust valve opens, allowing gases to escape, while the intake valve stays shut. This cycle repeats continuously, ensuring efficient engine operation.
Name the two engine valves on a four-stroke engine?
Intake valve and exhaust valve.
What are the four strokes of a internal combustion engine?
The four strokes of an internal combustion engine are intake, compression, power, and exhaust. During the intake stroke, air and fuel are drawn into the combustion chamber. In the compression stroke, the mixture is compressed. The power stroke is when the compressed mixture is ignited to create power, while the exhaust stroke expels the burned gases from the chamber.
How does a four stroke engine generate power?
Intake compression ***** POWER**** exhaust
What are the four strokes to a four stroke engine?
The four strokes of a four-stroke engine are the intake, compression, power, and exhaust strokes. During the intake stroke, the engine draws in air and fuel. The compression stroke then compresses this mixture, followed by the power stroke, where the spark plug ignites the mixture, generating power. Finally, in the exhaust stroke, the engine expels the burnt gases from the combustion process.
Describe how a four stroke engine works?
The strokes of a four stroke engine are intake, compression, power, and exhaust. The engine takes in the fuel, compresses it, uses it for power, and then the excess fuel comes out the exhaust.
What is overlapping of valves?
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
What is the sequence for a four stroke engine?
1342 Intake Compression Power Exhaust
What is a valve block?
Could be another name for the four stroke cylinder head, which contains the inlet / exhaust valves.
