Valves are essential to the internal combustion engine. But what exactly do they do?

Valves or poppet valves control the inflow and outflow of air inside the cylinder for burning fuel and powering the vehicle. Valves are operated by the camshafts placed above them.

Air paths are bored out inside the cylinder head for each cylinder, which originate from the valve seating and connect to a manifold or common collector box.
