What Causes Valve Leakage?
1 Answers
The causes of valve leakage are as follows: 1. Poor contact between the valve head contact band and the valve seat: Spots and carbon deposits on the contact band, or an improper contact angle with the valve, can lead to incomplete sealing between the valve and the valve seat, resulting in leakage. 2. Excessive carbon buildup on the valve stem: This can make the reciprocating motion of the valve less flexible, affecting its timely resealing and causing valve leakage. 3. Insufficient valve clearance or other mechanical failures: These can cause deformation of the valve stem, leading to misalignment between the valve stem and its contact band, resulting in leakage. 4. Fuel injection pump malfunction: This can lead to poor fuel atomization and delayed injection timing, causing burn damage to the contact band between the valve and the valve seat, thereby compromising the valve's sealing performance.
