The Intake Valve of a Nissan 240SX allows air and fuel to enter each cylinder before firmly closing so that compression builds. The Intake Valve is located on the cylinder head and is opened and closed by the camshaft lobe through the valvetrain. The valvetrain can include lifters, pushrods, rocker arms, or bucket-type followers that transmit motion from the cam lobe to the valve stem. The mixture enters when the Intake Valve opens after the power stroke. Spent gases are released by the separate exhaust valve. The purpose of correct spring pressure is to keep the Intake Valve seated during a stroke. For a stock engine, the proper pressure when closed is approximately 70 to 90 pounds and when open is about 200 pounds. Too little spring pressure will cause misfire when the engine speed rises. In addition, Intake Valve float will occur if the spring pressure is too little as well. In a Nissan 240SX engine, overheating or insufficient spring pressure can cause the valve to burn, warp, or stick open, resulting in power loss. Regular attention to lash clearance and spring strength assists the Nissan 240SX in holding a good combustion seal and prevents the Nissan 240SX from damaging costly mechanical parts. The Intake Valve is important in all 240SX applications.
