Valves on a small engine control the flow of air and fuel into the combustion chamber and the expulsion of exhaust gases. Typically, there are two types of valves: intake valves, which open to allow the air-fuel mixture in, and exhaust valves, which open to let out combustion gases. These valves are operated by a camshaft that pushes them open at specific times during the engine's four-stroke cycle (intake, compression, power, and exhaust). Proper valve timing and function are crucial for efficient engine performance and power generation.
Presta valves work by using a small pin inside the valve to control the airflow. They are different from other valves, like Schrader valves, because they are narrower and require a separate adapter for inflation. Presta valves are commonly used on high-performance bicycles and have a higher pressure rating compared to Schrader valves.
Valves will clatter if the engine is overheating.Valves will clatter if the engine is overheating.
When your valves do not have clearance, a number of things may happen. Your valves will not be closing all the way, you can lose horsepower/compression, poor fuel economy, backfires, hesitation, stumble when idle or take off, it will make your engine run like crap! When you lose clearance on the valves, the engine almost acts like it is out of timing. When the valves have excessive clearance, they will be noisy.
It is exactly what it says. The number of valves the engine has per cylinder. If you have 16 valves on an 8 cylinder engine, you have 2 valves per cylinder.
on top left facing engine,it is a small valve on top of pump!! on v6.
On a 1996 Ford Taurus : The 3.0 liter " Vulcan " V6 engine has ( 2 valves per engine cylinder , total of 12 valves ) The 3.0 liter " Duratec " DOHC , V6 engine has ( 4 valves per engine cylinder , total of 24 valves )
On a 1999 Ford Taurus : If you have the 3.0 " Vulcan " V6 engine ( which is an Over Head Valve / pushrod design engine ) there are ( a total of 12 valves , 2 valves for each engine cylinder ) If you have the 3.0 " Duratec " V6 engine ( which is a Dual Over Head Cam design engine ) there are ( a total of 24 valves , 4 valves for each engine cylinder )
Most stock engine valves are made from steel alloys. Higher performance/ aftermarket valves are stainless steel, Titanium or inconel (exhaust valves).
