intake valves
Cylinder entry gates
Intake valves are components in internal combustion engines that open to allow the air-fuel mixture (or just air in diesel engines) into the combustion chamber, then close during compression and combustion.
They work in coordination with exhaust valves, which release spent gases.
The mechanic said the intake valves needed adjustment.
The term extends to any valve controlling inflow into a system.
