How do valves open?
As the heart muscle contracts and relaxes, the valves open and shut. This lets blood flow into the ventricles and atria at alternate times. Here is a step-by-step description of how the valves work normally in the left ventricle: When the left ventricle relaxes, the aortic valve closes and the mitral valve opens.Click to see…

Herein, how valves are opened and closed in an IC engine?As the piston is at the bottom of the cylinder, the intake valve opens to let air in, it then closes so the cylinder is air tight to build compression. Once the piston goes through the compression and firing stroke, the exhaust valve will open and let the exhaust out. It then closes immediately after.One may also ask, are valves open or closed at TDC? Yes. Valves will be closed at TDC after the compression stroke and partially open (exhaust closing and intake opening) at TDC following the exhaust stroke. Moreover, how are the valves closed? The valve is kept closed by the valve spring which pushes up against a disc secured to the valve stem called the retainer . The pressure forcing exhaust gases out is stronger than the vacuum pulling in air and fuel. It’s easier to blow gases with pressure than to suck them using a vacuum.How do you know if your valves are closed?So you want to adjust when the bottom of the rocker is inward. If you have a shop manual it tells you which valves to adjust when the timing mark is top dead center. You don’t have to turn the engine over every cylinder. In using your words, ” the top of the rocker arm is out towards you” is when that valve is closed.
