Replacing valve seals in a car engine plays a vital role in maintaining its functionality and prevents many potential problems:
Prevention of Oil Leakage: Worn valve seals allow motor oil to enter the combustion chamber. Replacing the seals eliminates this leakage, preventing excessive oil consumption.
Catalytic Converter Contamination: Oil leakage leads to its combustion in the combustion chamber and the formation of deposits in the catalytic converter, reducing its performance and lifespan.
Emission of Harmful Substances: Burning oil increases the amount of harmful substances in exhaust gases, negatively impacting the environment.
Improved Engine Performance: Accumulation of oil in the combustion chamber can reduce the efficiency of fuel combustion, affecting the power and economy of the engine.
Protection of Engine Parts: Oil leakage through worn valve seals can lead to increased wear of various engine parts.
Cleanliness of Spark Plugs: Oil penetration into the combustion chamber causes the formation of carbon deposits on spark plugs, impairing their function and potentially leading to engine starting issues.
Avoidance of Costly Repairs: Regular replacement of valve seals helps avoid more serious and expensive engine problems in the future.
Crankcase Ventilation System Issues: Incorrect pressure due to oil leaks can lead to problems in the crankcase ventilation system.
Overall Vehicle Reliability: Replacing valve seals increases the overall reliability of the car, ensuring more stable engine operation.
