Acura Legend Exhaust Valve
The Acura Legend Exhaust Valve performs the important function of allowing burned gases to escape the cylinder so that the following charge can develop full compression. This keeps the engine breathing freely and power strong. Driven by camshaft lobes via an accurate valvetrain, this Exhaust Valve opens after each power stroke and then closes tightly as springs clamp it against its seat to seal the chamber for the intake stroke. Early Acura Legend models had an overhead valve layout, with lifters, pushrods, and rocker arms transferring the cam motion to the Exhaust Valve. In later generations of Legends, the cam is overhead cam in which the cam is laid directly above the Exhaust Valve and often bucket followers are utilized to provide quicker response. The OHV style has more moving parts and can wear and cause a higher lash, thus making them prone to overheating, whereas the OHC setup has less weight and a lesser chance of valve float at higher revs. Consistent spring pressure and little clearance ensure each Exhaust Valve is cool, unwarped, and ready for the next rush of combustion in every Acura powerplant to ensure Acura drivers know their Legend will be lively and distinctly Acura on the road, a trademark of the longstanding Legend line.

Acura Legend Exhaust Valve Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: Should Exhaust Valve and Intake Valve Servicing Be Performed by a Professional on an Acura Legend?A:Valve jobs are difficult because of how complicated valve components are and what kind of tools and tools you need. Let professionals handle it, since you won't have their experience and special tools. When your car needs valve work, the home mechanic can first unmount and take apart the engine head, clean it as needed, double-check everything, put it back together, and transport it to where professional mechanics can finish the job. Checking the parts makes it simple for you to tell what work and components will be needed when you need professional automotive machine shop repairs. The dealer service or auto machine shop team takes off the valves and springs; fixes or replaces the valve components and seats; repairs and replaces guide mechanisms; verifies and readjusts valve springs, retainers, and keepers; installs fresh valve seals; places all valves back in order; and ensures the valve spring level is precise. At the same time, if the cylinder head gasket surface is not level, they'll adjust it during the process. When working on a Legend car, have both cylinder heads resurfaced if they aren't perfectly flat. Also, workers should revamp the interaction points between the intake manifold and the cylinder head system to accommodate the new head positions. When an experienced professional completes the valve work, the head will have the condition it had when it was brand new. Before putting the head back on the engine, clean it one more time to remove any leftover metal particles or rough bits left over from valve work or the head resurfacing process. Blow clean oil holes and passages using air when you have it.
