Valve overlap occurs in a four-stroke engine at the end of the Exhaust stroke and at the beginning of the Induction stroke; and is when both the exhaust and inlet valves are open at the same time.
At the end of the Exhaust stroke, the Exhaust valve is closing and the Inlet valve is starting to open in preparation for the induction of fuel and air into the cylinder.
It is common knowledge that in vehicles that cannot alter the valve timing, the Inlet valve opens approx 6 degrees before top-dead-centre and the Exhaust valve closes at 9 degrees after top-dead-centre

∙ 13y ago- The portion of the operating cycle of a reciprocating engine in which, when the piston is passing TDC (top dead center) on the exhaust stroke, both the intake and exhaust valves are open. Valve overlap increases the efficiency of the engine operation.

What is overlap repulsion in physics?
overlap repulsion in physics is repulsion overlapped
The crests of one wave overlap the troughs of another wave?
it is possable for a crest to overlap a trough and they cancel each other out
What is trading area overlap?
A trading area-overlap occur when the trading areas of stores are in the same location, they both serve the same customers.
What occurs when sound waves overlap and combine?
interference
When two waves overlap and interfere constructively what does the resulting have?
"higher amplitude"
Where is the EGR valve on a 1997 Hyundai Elantra?
Does not have one. The engine uses cam overlap to achieve the effect of the EGR valve.
What does the term valve overlap mean?
Valve timing overlap is the time when both exhaust and intake valves are open most engines with catalytic converters require valve overlap in order to send a small amount of raw fuel/ air mix to the converter's. An "open cam" has valve overlap a "closed" cam does not
What is purpose of valve overlap?
It improves the efficiency of the engine by allowing better exhaust out flow and intake in flow.
When the intake and exhaust valves are both open at the same time that length of time is called?
Valve overlap.
What does a overlap valve do?
send a small amount of raw fuel/air to the catalytic convertor,which increases the efficiency of the operating engine.
What are the disadvantages to have a large valve overlap?
High end Rpm output tails sooner, engines idle is lumpy, emissions are higher, too much overlap can cause rough low rpm driving, more chance of detonation.
What is meant by the term valve overlap?
There is a short time between the exhaust and intake stroke where all the valves are slightly open at the same time. This period of time is called valve overlap. This is because the intake valves are just starting to open as the exhaust valves are just finishing closing. This is done so flow through the engine can be maintained at engine operating speeds.
When valve overlap happens to aircraft reciprocating engine?
High performance piston aircraft engines do have valve overlap, just like high performance engines used in land vehicles, and for the same reasons. Listen to the Continental O-470, IO-520, IO-550, even IO-360 at idle (or Lycoming IO-540) and you can hear the same exhaust note quality as a racing car engine.
Can regions overlap?
No, regions are separate and cannot overlap.
How do you write overlap in the sentence?
I ama sitting overlap
What leads to competitions between two species?

In a four stroke engine the time period when both valves are slightly open is called valve?
If the valve timing is correct and there are no damaged engine parts (or weak/faulty valve springs) that should not happen, yet however if the engine is "over-revved" the valves could "float" which is not normal operation. (If the engine is an interference engine there may possibly be engine damage.) That is normal and it is called valve overlap.
