INTRODUCTION
An engine valve is a very important part of your engine running. It is in the head which is just
over the block and pistons. There are exhaust and intake valves. The camshaft triggers the valves
to go up at certain point to allow air and fuel in for intake and allow waste to get out through
exhaust. They return down with a spring and seal up the combustion chamber give you the
compression needed for the engine to run and the fuel to ignite and drive the pistons. Timing is
everything when it comes to valves or basically anything in an engine. Below is a picture showed
valve specifications and its component.
Figure 1: Intake and Exhaust Valves Functions and Arrangements
The valve arrangement in an engine controls the in and out movements of charge and
exhaust gases in the cylinders in relation to the piston positions in their bores. Now-a-days, this is
located in the cylinder head on all the engines. Among the commonly used sleeve, sliding, rotary,
and poppet type valves, the poppet-valve is most common because this offers reasonable weight,
good strength and good heat transfer characteristics.
3
The most popular shape of the poppet-valve (Fig.2) for automobile application uses a
small cup at one end of the stem. The valve stem is placed in a guide hole made centrally in a
circular passage in the cylinder head. The valve disc head opens and closes the ported passage
leading to the cylinder during in and out movement of the stem.
Figure 2
Both inlet and exhaust ports are shaped to curve upwards and outwards emerging from one
or both sides of the cylinder head. It is normal to have one inlet and one exhaust valve and port
per cylinder. However, twin inlet and exhaust valve-and-port layouts are also adopted for some
high-performance or large capacity engines. Also, a few engines use twin inlets but only one
exhaust valve. Valves may be positioned vertically or slightly inclined relative to the cylinder
axis, matching the desired combustion chamber contour.

Problems
Valves are subject to both thermal and mechanical loads, the latter being applied by the springs
and actuating gear. All these loads are so severe as to justify an assertion that the valves are most
heavily loaded components in an engine. Modes of potential failure include Tensile Elongation or
fracture, either hot or cold corrosion, wear, burning, and flow of metal from the seating area, cold
corrosion being caused by condensation containing acid products of combustion. Nobody wants
engine problems such as oil consumption, a compression leak, valve train noise or an outright
valve failure. So every effort should be made to make sure everything that is worn or damaged is
replaced or reconditioned when rebuilding a cylinder head. But sometimes valve problems occur
anyway and lead to expensive comebacks.
5
Weak springs or insufficient valve lash can also prevent good valve-to-seat contact and allow
excessive heat to build up in the valves. A loose seat or poorly fitting guide can also hinder heat
transfer to the head and contribute to burning.
Not paying attention to the installed valve height when doing a valve job can lead to burning.
When valves and seats are ground or cut, the valves sit deeper in the head than before. This
causes the stems to stick up higher which changes the rocker arm geometry and may lead to a
loss of valvelash when the engine gets hot. Two engines where this particular problem has been
turning up are the Ford 2300 OHC engine and the rear-wheel drive version of the Mitsubishi 2.6L
(which has hydraulic lash adjusters). If the proper geometry cannot be restored by grinding the
tips of the valve stems (no more than about .010 maximum or you run the risk of grinding
through the case hardened layer), the seats should be replaced to correct installed height (an
expensive fix but cheaper than a comeback). Another option is to install valves with slightly
oversized heads (.030 in.) that ride higher on the seat to compensate for seat machining.
Valve recession can cause the same kind of problem. As the seats wear away and the valves
recede into the head, valve lash is lost. Eventually there is little or no lash left and the valve
makes poor contact with the seat, overheats and burns. Valve recession tends to be more of a
problem on older engines that lack hard valve seats and are used in heavy-duty truck, marine,
agricultural or industrial applications. The cure here is to install hard seats. Stellite or hard faced
valves may also be necessary if the valves show evidence of erosion.
When the head of this valve fatigued and broke off, it stuck in the top of this forged piston. Had this been a cast piston, it would have shattered and probably the entire engine
6
To avoid valve related problems down the road, do the following:
1. Analyze the amount of wear as well as wear patterns in the head and valve train components
when the head is disassembled. A careful inspection should reveal any abnormal conditions or
wear patterns that would indicate additional problems.
2. Inspect each and every component in the valve train and head so all worn or damaged parts can
be identified and replaced or reconditioned.
3. Keep a close watch over production quality so the parts that are being reconditioned are done
so correctly.
4. Pay attention to specs, critical dimensions and rocker arm geometry to assure proper
reassembly.

Objectives of study case
A part from the problem mention above, we made a study case to tackle one of the problems and
to relate it in Finite Element Method. The problem that we want to prove is ‘what is the critical
point/stress at valve when applied some load in it.’ No hard and fast rules can be given to arrive
at a satisfactory valve life. Each case must be painstakingly investigated, the cause or causes
isolated and remedial action taken.
To comply what we have learn in subject Finite Element Method , we used a FEMAP software
when doing the analysis.

• Hot strength (endurance strength at high temperature ) [ ~500MPa ]
• Hot hardness [ strength at ~700°C ]
• Resistance to oxidation
• Resistance to seizing and galling
• Availability of material supplied
• Overall cost (material and manufacturing costs) [ moderate ]

From the table shown above, the material that fulfill our criteria is only STEEL. Therefore we
eliminate nickel and so only left the steel group.
From the strength-temperature ashby chart, the suitable steel had been chosen is STAINLESS STEEL

Stainless Steels are iron-base alloys containing Chromium. Stainless steels usually contain less
than 30% Cr and more than 50% Fe. They attain their stainless characteristics because of the
formation of an invisible and adherent chromium-rich oxide surface film. This oxide establishes
on the surface and heals itself in the presence of oxygen.

Stainless steels are commonly divided into five groups:
• Martensitic stainless steels
• Ferritic stainless steels
• Austenitic stainless steels
• Duplex (ferritic-austenitic) stainless steels
CRITERIA FOR MATERIAL SELECTION OF ENGINE VALVE SEAT INSERT
• Sufficiently wear resistant to avoid wear by the continuous pounding of the valve on it
• Strong enough to resist the hammering by the valve
• Sufficiently oxidation and corrosion resistance to prevent damage from impurities in the
fuel
• Hot Hardness and strength [ ~500MPa ] ( wear resistance at high temperature ) [ 700°C
(exhaust) ]
• High thermal conductivity ( to keep valve temperature within reasonable limits )
Since the engine valve and valve seat insert are operating at the same location in the automobile
engine block and experience the same condition ( high temperature cause by combustion of air-
fuel mixture ). So the group of the material that can be choose is similar with material of engine
valve that is Stainless Steel.

Result and Discussion
The Campro engine is the first automotive engine ever developed by the Malaysian automotive
corporation, Proton. The name Campro is short for Cam Profile. This engine powers the Proton
Gen-2, the Proton Satria Neo, the Proton Waja Campro as well as Proton's future models. The
Campro engine is aimed to show Proton's ability to make their own engines that produces good
power output and meets newer emission standards.
For our Project, we had using a real valve from Cam Pro engine. The technical specification as
provided shows that a maximum torque is 148 Nm at 6000 rpm. From this information we
calculated the maximum force that applied at the valve head when the engine was operate. The
value of maximum force is 3895 N.
To fulfill our objective of finding critical point/stress at valve when applied some load, this study
will make sure few assumption which includes:
a) No collision occurs between the valve and piston.
b) Power / force produced during the combustion process occur is fixed at all times.
c) There are no foreign objects in the combustion chamber during combustion process.
d) All of the components installed close to the engine valves operate properly.
Our group had used FEMAP software analysis for the components of the engine valve. The
results obtained showed that the groove faced maximum stress based on Von Mises Theory at
Element (ID 5221) is 106.044 KN/m² and the minimum stress at element (ID 2990) is 2518.523
N/m², while the stress on the other parts is at a safe level. This means failure might happen if
high force applied on the valve groove. The maximum deflection occurs at node (ID 34) is
1.51243E-6 m and the minimum deflection happen at node (ID 1) that the value is zero
(Constraint).
18
To cope with excessive stress occurs at the valve groove, we suggest that :-
1. Shrink the inner area of the groove, so that it can accommodate up to 1.3 MPa stress.
2. Shorten the groove height.
3. Changing the material used for the groove, using materials that have a higher yielding stress
that can withstand the stress 1.3 Mpa without fail.
