Engine Valves Repairs and Replacement Service in Preston, Lancashire

At Preston MOT & Garage, we understand the importance of a properly functioning engine for the optimal performance of your vehicle. The engine valves play a crucial role in the combustion process by regulating the flow of air and fuel into the cylinders and the expulsion of exhaust gases. Over time, engine valves can wear out or become damaged, leading to a decrease in engine performance and efficiency. That's why we offer professional engine valve repairs and replacement services to keep your engine running smoothly.

Our team of skilled technicians is experienced in handling a wide range of engine valve issues, from minor repairs to complete replacements. We utilize state-of-the-art equipment and industry-leading techniques to ensure that your engine valves are restored to their optimal condition. Whether you drive a car, truck, SUV, or any other vehicle, our comprehensive engine valve services are tailored to meet your specific needs.

Signs of Engine Valve Problems:

• Reduced engine power: If you notice a significant decrease in your vehicle's power and acceleration, it could be due to a faulty engine valve. The valve may not be sealing properly, leading to a loss of compression and power.
• Rough idling: A rough or inconsistent idle can indicate a problem with the engine valves. This can result in a bumpy ride and can even cause the engine to stall.
• Misfiring or backfiring: Engine valves that are not functioning correctly can cause misfiring or backfiring, leading to poor engine performance and potentially damaging other engine components.
• Increased fuel consumption: Faulty engine valves can disrupt the air-fuel mixture, causing the engine to run rich and resulting in higher fuel consumption.
• Excessive exhaust smoke: If you notice thick, dark smoke coming from the exhaust, it may be a sign of engine valve issues. Leaky valves can allow oil to enter the combustion chamber, resulting in smoke and a burning oil smell.

Engine Valve Repair Services:

• Valve lapping: In cases where the valves are not seated properly, our technicians can perform valve lapping. This process involves grinding the valve and its seat to create a better seal, restoring proper compression and engine performance.
• Valve guide replacement: Over time, the valve guides can wear out or become damaged. We can replace worn or damaged valve guides with high-quality replacements to ensure smooth valve operation.
• Valve seal replacement: Faulty valve seals can lead to oil leakage into the combustion chamber, causing smoke and oil consumption. We can replace worn or damaged valve seals, preventing oil leaks and improving engine efficiency.
• Valve spring replacement: Weak or broken valve springs can result in valve float, where the valves do not close properly. Our technicians can replace worn or damaged valve springs to maintain proper valve operation.

Engine Valve Replacement Services:

• Complete valve replacement: If the engine valves are severely damaged or worn beyond repair, our technicians can perform a complete valve replacement. We use genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) or high-quality aftermarket valves to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
• Valve seat cutting: In cases where the valve seats are damaged or worn, we can perform valve seat cutting. This process involves machining the valve seats to the correct specifications, ensuring a proper seal and optimal engine performance.
