Basically, the inlet valve lets the air and fuel mixture into the engine’s cylinder. Think of it like a doorway – it opens at exactly the right time, lets the good stuff in, and then shuts tight again. It does this repeatedly, thousands of times a minute when you’re driving. It works with other valves – exhaust valves let the burnt gases out. Together they control the whole breathing process of the engine. They’re precision – made, because timing is everything. It’s a core part of the engine, obviously. More specifically, it’s part of what’s called the valve train. That’s all the stuff that controls when and how the valves open and close. Without a properly functioning inlet valve, that cylinder just won't get the air and fuel it needs to make power. It's a fundamental part of combustion, which is what makes your car go. It works in concert with the camshaft, which is what actually tells it when to open and close. A failing inlet valve will really make itself known. You’ll notice if you’re getting reduced engine power, maybe a rough idle, or even a misfire. It can also cause poor fuel economy. If it fails completely, that cylinder basically stops working, and that's a serious issue. It acts like a shield, keeping everything sealed up tight when it needs to, but it's under a lot of stress from heat and pressure. It’s something you really want to keep in good shape. You can find a replacement inlet valve, and lots of other engine parts, over at Fixparts Online if you’re looking. But hopefully you won’t need one for a long time!
