2. 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 ...

3. Poppet valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poppet_valve

   The valve stem D moves up to open the valve discs C. James Watt was using poppet valves to control the flow of steam into the cylinders of his beam engines in the 1770s. A sectional illustration of Watt's beam engine of 1774 using the device is found in Thurston 1878:98, [ 13 ] and Lardner (1840) provides an illustrated description of Watt's ...

4. Schrader valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schrader_valve

   Schrader valve components (from left to right) the valve core closed (top) and open (bottom), the order of assembly, end view of stem without core and with core (top) and stem with the dust cap on (bottom). The core has a short outer thread which is screwed into the inner thread of the stem. The visible outer thread of the stem holds the dust cap.

5. Valve actuator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_actuator

   The blue valve body is visible in-line with the pipe. The valve actuator opens or closes the butterfly disc of the valve based on electrical signals sent to the actuator. Another valve actuator is visible in the background, with windows to indicate the valve position. A valve actuator is the mechanism for opening and closing a valve. Manually ...

6. Valve stem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_stem

   A valve stem is a self-contained valve that opens to admit gas to a chamber (such as air to inflate a tire), [1] and is then automatically closed and kept sealed by the pressure in the chamber, or a spring, [2] [3] or both, to prevent the gas from escaping.

7. Rocker arm - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocker_arm

   However, these generally have the roller at the point where the cam lobe contacts the rocker, rather than at the point where the rocker contacts the valve stem. Friction may be reduced at the point of contact with the valve stem by a roller tip. A similar arrangement transfers the motion via another roller tip to a second rocker arm.

8. Presta valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presta_valve

   The Presta valve (also French valve (FV) or Sclaverand valve) is a type of tire valve commonly found on high pressure bicycle inner tubes and is commonly used on tubeless setups. It consists of an outer valve stem and an inner valve body. A lock nut to secure the stem at the wheel rim and a valve cap may also be present.

9. Moka pot - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moka_pot

   To expedite brewing, a weighted valve called Cremavent has been added as a pressure regulator on top of the nozzle that allows pressure to build up inside the water tank in a manner similar to a pressure cooker. As pressure builds up more quickly in this method (since there is much less leakage of vapour) compared to the standard moka pot, it ...
