Learn More About Valves
Engine valves (intake and exhaust) regulate the gas exchange process within the combustion chamber. They must withstand extreme heat and open/close with precise timing to ensure efficient engine operation. Over time, valves can suffer from carbon buildup, warping, or "burning," which leads to compression loss and significant performance degradation, eventually requiring a top-end engine rebuild.
Frequently Asked Questions About Valves
What is the importance of genuine valves?
They must withstand extreme heat without warping. Genuine valves guarantee a perfect seal for optimal compression and power.
