- You may already know how the valves work in terms of the 4 Cycles of the 4 Stroke system, but this video explains the way in which they work. Basically, what actually powers them.
The Four Stroke Cycle Engine Inlet Valve and Exhaust Valve gain there movement from several special engine components deep within the engine sump, with the 4 stroke engine oil.

In this video I am using a small air cooled four stroke petrol engine ( no turbos explained) from a lawnmower, which I modified to use as an educational artifact. I use the Lawn mower engine specifically because this channel is more about small engine repair than larger diesel engines. So I admit that my little engine is not exactly a V12.
A 4-stroke internal combustion engine's valve configuration is referred to as its 4-stroke valving system. Let's go over the four engine cycle strokes and how the valves function in each to better comprehend this:
Induction Stroke: The piston descends during the intake stroke, which results in a vacuum inside the cylinder. A 4-stroke engine's intake valve, which is usually an intake port, opens to let a mixture of fuel and air into the combustion chamber.
Compression Stroke: The fuel-air combination is compressed as the piston rises back to its starting position. At this moment, the combustion chamber is sealed by closing both the intake and exhaust valves.
Power Stroke: The spark plug ignites the compressed fuel-air mixture at the peak of the compression stroke, resulting in a controlled explosion. Gases that are expanding force the piston back down, producing power. Again, during this stroke, both valves are shut.
Exhaust Stroke: Following the power stroke, the exhaust valve opens as the piston ascends. This enables the cylinder to release the burned gases into the exhaust system. At this point in the stroke, the intake valve is still closed.
A 4-stroke engine's valves are normally opened at particular times during the engine cycle by a camshaft, which contains lobes that push the valves open. For an engine to run properly, valve opening and closing timing is essential.
Depending on the engine design, the valving system of a 4-stroke engine can change. Systems with overhead valves (OHV), overhead camshafts (OHC), and dual overhead camshafts (DOHC) are common layouts. In an OHV system, the camshaft and valves are both housed inside the engine block, and pushrods and rocker arms are used to operate the valves. Older engines or engines that place a premium on simplicity and durability frequently use this design.
The camshaft is located in the cylinder head above the valves in an OHC system. It uses cam followers or lifters to directly operate the valves. This design, which enables more exact control over valve timing, is frequently utilised in contemporary engines. One camshaft controls the intake valves, and the other controls the exhaust valves in a DOHC system. This design, which is frequently used in performance-oriented engines, enables considerably more control over valve timing.
In a 4-stroke engine, the valving system is vital for managing gas intake and exhaust during the engine cycle to ensure effective combustion and power output
Many tanks indeed

Hi guys I just wanted to Introduce to you my other Channel "Kirkman's Academy" - which i'm just getting started. It's a go-to channel for simple explanations for hard to grasp subjects such as physics, maths and chemistry etc. Here is the link: www.youtube.com/@kirkmansacademy/videos . Thank you so much for looking, and if these topics interest you then I hope to see you the there. Many thanks indeed. Craig 😊👍
Best and Clearest explanation I've seen and understood! Thx!
I really like this visual cutaway and each component labeled and explained. Well done!!
You have a wonderful way of simplifying an explanation.
This was such an excellent video. I’ve adjusted valves on a number of lawnmower engines. I just never quite understood the position of the rockers to what the valves were actually doing. This makes it perfectly clear.
Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for your kind words! 😄 I'm absolutely thrilled to hear that the video helped clarify the relationship between the rockers and the valves for you. Understanding that connection is key when adjusting valves on lawnmower engines, and I'm delighted it's now perfectly clear.
If you ever have more questions or need further guidance on any topic, please don't hesitate to reach out. Your appreciation and enthusiasm mean a lot, and I'm here to help anytime. Happy tinkering and lawnmower maintenance! Craig
Well done! Keep it doing!
Thank you! Will do! 👍
Thank you well explained very good video quality all good information.
Thanks for the video mate
Thank you very much!
Nice vid
Thanks.
You are most welcome 👍
Thanks 🙏🏻
You’re welcome 😊
Make us "Stihl M-Tronic Carburetor" detail video how it works... 😊
Good idea. I will look into that. Thanks 👍
Hi ineed help my man Igot brush cutter 52cc is not starting just passing the petrol to the exhaust I ve cleaned the carburate
Hello sir how are you
Hi 👋
Timing using a chain?... please model replica
