Too Afraid to Ask

A valve in a car engine helps control how air and fuel get in and out. Better valves can help the engine run more smoothly and powerfully.

Technical Definition

In an engine, a valve controls the flow of air and fuel into the combustion chamber and the exhaust out of it. Upgrading valves can enhance engine efficiency and performance.
