Can the car be driven if the exhaust valve is damaged?

If the exhaust valve is damaged, the car cannot be driven. Here is some information about the exhaust valve: 1. The car exhaust valve, also known as the oil-gas/water separator, works by allowing the high-pressure gas from the compressor, including the gaseous working medium and lubricating oil, to enter the exhaust valve and then the guide vanes inside the valve. The gas flows in a spiral pattern along the guide vanes, and the lubricating oil is separated from the working medium gas by centrifugal force and gravity, flowing down along the inner wall of the cylinder. 2. The working medium gas is discharged from the exhaust valve through a multi-hole baffle via a central pipe. The separated lubricating oil accumulates at the bottom of the oil separator and can be discharged periodically or automatically returned to the compressor's crankshaft via a float valve.
