Time was when a valve job was done with some valve-grinding compound and a vacuum cup on a stick. But no more. Today's high performance engines require the same machining precision in the valves that ...

Pushrod engines typically use two valves per cylinder, and as a result this engine style is often mocked when used in modern vehicles. Fewer, larger valves results in more reciprocating mass which can ...

OHV stands for overhead valve, and these types of powerplants can also be called pushrod engines. OHV engines have the intake and exhaust valves located above the camshaft, which is in the engine ...

This is a category that is pretty rapidly going away. You'll be hard-pressed to find an overhead valve — also known as a pushrod — engine in anything outside of a General Motors LS/LT V8 or one of ...

Does your engine need a valve adjustment? It depends on the age, condition and brand of vehicle you’re driving. Due to the popularization of roller-follower valve train designs that reduce friction ...

Overhead-valve internal-combustion engines, in which the valves are located in the cylinder head and actuated by a block-mounted camshaft via pushrods, go way back in automotive history. Production ...
