Automobile valve chamber cover action
The main functions of the valve chamber cover include sealing, protection, lubrication and heat dissipation . The valve chamber cover is the key part of the top of the engine cylinder head, and its sealing performance directly affects the engine life. It reduces component wear by sealing core components such as the valve mechanism to prevent dust intrusion and oil contamination.
Specifically, the sealing function of the valve chamber cover is very important, it can prevent the internal lubricating oil of the engine from leaking to the valve mechanism, at the same time prevent the external dust and impurities from entering, and protect the valve mechanism from contamination and wear, which is essential to maintain the normal operation of the engine and extend the service life .
In addition, the valve chamber cover helps dissipate heat from the valve mechanism through heat sinks or cooling channels to avoid performance degradation or damage caused by overheating .
The design of the valve chamber cover is usually made of alloy casting or sheet steel stamping to ensure a tight connection. It also has an oil port and crankcase ventilation pipe interface to ensure the normal flow of lubricating oil and internal air quality .
Through these functions, the valve chamber cover plays an important role in the overall construction of the engine.
The oil leakage of the valve chamber cover will lead to engine performance degradation, safety hazards and environmental pollution and other problems, which need to be dealt with in time.
Main effects and hazards
engine performance problems
insufficient lubrication and parts wear : Oil leakage will cause oil loss, reduce the valve chamber cover and internal parts lubrication effect, increase wear, may damage the engine in the long run.
power drop : oil into the combustion chamber will cause insufficient combustion, resulting in weakened power output, while the decrease in air tightness may cause cylinder pressure loss, further affecting the power.
spark plug carbon : oil leakage will make the oil penetrate the combustion chamber, attached to the spark plug surface to form carbon deposit, affect the ignition efficiency.
security risks
Spontaneous combustion risk : Leaking oil dripping onto the high-temperature exhaust pipe or engine components can cause a fire, especially in hot weather.
odor and smoke : oil burning at high temperature will produce pungent oil smoke, even accompanied by a lot of white smoke in serious cases, affecting the driving experience.
Environmental and maintenance cost issues
increased oil loss : oil leakage will lead to rapid reduction of oil, need frequent replenishment, increase the cost of the vehicle.
emission pollution : oil involved in combustion will produce particulate matter, resulting in excessive exhaust emissions, pollution of the environment.
sludge buildup : Leaking oil combines with dust to form sludge in the engine compartment, affecting heat loss and potentially clogging critical components (such as crankcase ventilation valves).
Handling suggestion
After oil leakage is found, the aging or damaged valve chamber cover pad should be checked and replaced in time, and the oil level should be checked regularly and the sludge should be cleaned. If the pressure imbalance is caused by the blockage of the crankcase forced ventilation valve, check and repair related systems simultaneously to avoid long-term risks.
