  2. Crankcase ventilation system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankcase_ventilation_system

    Intake manifold vacuum is applied to the crankcase via the PCV valve. The airflow through the crankcase and engine interior sweeps away combustion byproduct gases. This mixture of air and crankcase gases then exits, often via another simple baffle, screen, or mesh to exclude oil mist, through the PCV valve and into the intake manifold. On some ...

  3. Two-stroke power valve system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-stroke_power_valve_system

    A stroke is the action of a piston travelling the full length of its cylinder.In a two-stroke engine, one of the two strokes combines primarily the intake stroke and the combustion stroke, while the other stroke primarily combines the compression stroke and the exhaust stroke, though technically since both ports are exposed during both the combustion and compression strokes, some reversion ...

  4. Control valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_valve

    A control valve is a valve used to control fluid flow by varying the size of the flow passage as directed by a signal from a controller. [1] This enables the direct control of flow rate and the consequential control of process quantities such as pressure, temperature, and liquid level.

  5. Variable valve timing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_valve_timing

    Cylinder head of Honda K20Z3.This engine uses continuously variable timing for the inlet valves. Variable valve timing (VVT) is the process of altering the timing of a valve lift event in an internal combustion engine, and is often used to improve performance, fuel economy or emissions.

  6. Valve timing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_timing

    With traditional fixed valve timing, an engine will have a period of "valve overlap" at the end of the exhaust stroke, when both the intake and exhaust valves are open. The intake valve is opened before the exhaust gases have completely left the cylinder, and their considerable velocity assists in drawing in the fresh charge. Engine designers ...

  7. Multi-valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-valve

    A cylinder head of a four valve Nissan VQ engine engine. A multi-valve or multivalve engine is one where each cylinder has more than two valves (an intake, and an exhaust).A multi-valve engine has better breathing, and with more smaller valves (having less mass in motion) may be able to operate at higher revolutions per minute (RPM) than a two-valve engine, delivering more power.

  8. Exhaust gas recirculation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhaust_gas_recirculation

    However, the tripartite mixture resulting from employing both EGR and PCV in an engine (i.e. exhaust gas, fresh air, and oil vapour) can cause the buildup of sticky tar in the intake manifold and valves. This mixture can also cause problems with components such as swirl flaps, where fitted. (These problems, which effectively take the form of an ...

  9. Valve guide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_guide

    In the 1980s, many U.S. production engine remanufacturers began reaming valve guides, rather than replacing them, as part of their remanufacturing process. They found that by reaming all the valve guides in a head to one standard size (typically 0.008 in. diametrically oversized), and installing remanufactured engine valves having stems that are also oversized, a typical engine head can be ...
