Engine Valve Stem Seals: Functions, Applications, and Custom Solutions #
Valve stem seals, also known as valve guide seals, are critical components within car engines. Their primary function is to regulate the amount of engine oil that lubricates the valve stem and guide, ensuring optimal engine performance and longevity. At AOK, we offer an extensive selection of valve stem seals, with over five hundred specifications available and ongoing development of new variants to meet evolving automotive needs.
Key Functions of Valve Stem Seals #
- Oil Control: Valve stem seals manage the quantity of oil entering the combustion chamber, preventing excessive oil from being drawn in during the intake stroke. This precise control helps improve engine performance and reduces emissions.
- Lubrication: These seals ensure the valve stem receives adequate lubrication, minimizing friction between the valve stem and guide. This promotes smooth operation and helps prevent premature wear.
- Reduced Oil Consumption: By restricting oil from entering the combustion chamber, valve stem seals contribute to lower oil consumption, resulting in cost savings and reduced environmental impact through decreased oil vapor and emissions.
- Improved Engine Efficiency: Maintaining an optimal seal helps preserve compression within the combustion chamber. This prevents oil from diluting the air-fuel mixture, supporting complete combustion and maximizing engine power output.
