An overhead valve (OHV) engine features valves located in the cylinder head, allowing for more efficient airflow and improved engine performance. In this design, a camshaft operates the valves, which open and close at precise intervals during the engine's four-stroke cycle (intake, compression, power, and exhaust). The arrangement reduces the engine's overall height and can enhance thermal efficiency. This setup also allows for better tuning of the engine's power characteristics compared to older designs with valves in the block.

How much trouble is it to replace a burnt valve on a 92 Honda Accord LX?
Head will have to be removed. This is a major repair. As long as you have the head off, you need to have all valves ground and/or replaced. If the engine has over 150,000 miles on it, I would do a complete overhaul at the same time. Removing the head is 75% of the work.
How does a side volve engine work?
A flathead engine or sidevalve engine is an internal combustion engine with valves placed in the engine block beside the piston, instead of in thecylinder head, as in an overhead valve engine. The design was common on early engine designs, but has since fallen from use.Source: www.examville.com
What parts do you swap from 97 sl2 engine to a 95 sl2?
The only hard part is the EGR valve assembly. The head on the newer Saturn is slightly different, making it necessary to find a work-around for the EGR valve.
How does an idle control valve work?
The idle control valve works by regulating the idle speed of the engine. The idle speed of the engine is usually controlled by the engine of the computer.
Does a 216 ci valve cover for Chevy work on a 206 engine?
No ! The 216 engine is longer !
Where is the valve train located on a Chevy Metro?
The valve train on a Chevy Metro is located in the engine cylinder head, which sits atop the engine block. It consists of components such as the camshaft, pushrods, rocker arms, and valves, all of which work together to control the intake and exhaust of gases in the engine. In the Metro, which typically features a four-cylinder engine, the layout allows for efficient operation and performance.
Will a single cam dodge neon engine work in place of a double over head cam dodge neon engine?
With the correct computer, wiring harness, mounts, attachments, etc.
Will old style heads fit your 1993 roadmaster?
NO they will not work. You MUST use a high rail head where the valve cover bolts are in the center of the head. 1988 to 1999 will work.
What does a idle control valve do when engine warm up?
yes they do because to make it work it has to be running
Will a 16 valve cylinder head work on an 8 valve short block?
I'm sorry, the 16 valve head will not work on the 8 valve short block. The piston crowns are cut differently so replacement of pistons would be necessary. It is my understanding though, that it COULD be done if the pistons were replaced. I have never attempted this, but by looking through the parts catalog, it seems that this is feasable.
My car somkes in the morning when you start the engine but stops when its warms up?
This is a common problem with the 323. It is either worn valve guides or valve stems. In either case, you will need to remove the head and have it rebuilt by a professional engine shop. Have them perform a head porsity/leak test as well. If you opt to reapir it plan on spending $600.00 to $700.00 plus 8-10 hours of your labour to re and re the head. Good opportunity to change the timing belt at the same time. Use 5W-30 oil rather than 10W-30 oil once you've done the work. I have over 35,000 km (22,00 miles) on my rebuilt head and the car does not burn oil. Good Luck Malcolm This is a common problem with the 323. It is either worn valve guides or valve stems.

Is a head and valve cover gasket the same?
No. But they look similar and are of similar size and shape. The valve cover comes of very easily with minimal tools and isn't very tight. The valve cover only weighs a pound or so. The valve cover gasket goes between it and the engine. The gasket looks like a rectangle with bumps and holes for bolts. The head is the top part of the cylinders including where the valves go, where the spark plugs are. Removing the head takes much more powerful tools and the head can easily weigh 50 pounds on a small engine. Removing the head is much more work but can usually be done by someone who doesn't know what they are doing. The gasket is more complicated with large circles for the cylinders, and medium holes and small holes for bolts.
