The engine valves are made by using series of high-grade, bi-metal chromium silicon alloy. These valves are made under the supervision of experts in the field. Such materials and techniques make these valves resistant to corrosion even when they are functioning in the presence of hot gases and high temperature.
The engine valve is manufactured in such a way that it can withstand harsh operating conditions of hot gases and high temperature and still never fails to give excellent performance. High-quality engine valves are necessary for boosting the performance of engines.
These valves made for engines are basically manufactured in different types for performing a range of functions:
- Intake Valves: The function of intake valve is to allow the fuel into the combustion chamber. It also contributes to less consumption of oil
- Exhaust Valve: The main function of the exhaust valve is to prevent the building up of carbon in the engine. The valve also prevents the engine of the vehicle from over-heating
The valve guide, which is also a type of engine valve, helps to remove the heat out of the exhaust valve and into the cylinder head where it is dissipated by the cooling system of the vehicle. The engine valve guides are integral to ensuring the engine’s proper performance.
Engine valve guides are available in different types such as collar, plain, rear type and double collar valve guides and are also available in sizes up to 20 mm. These engine valve guides are manufactured using different materials such as graded cast iron and bronze to increase its efficiency in work and also to enhance its resistance.
