Question:

2276 vw type 1---which is the intake and which is the exhaust valve? (for the #1 cylinder)?

behind the valve cover of the #1 and #2 cylinder there are 2 intake and 2 exhaust valves I need know (cylinder #1) which is the intake and which is the exhaust. thank you in advance.

Answer:

The intake valves are the two rocker arms in the center of the passenger-side head. The exhaust valves are the rocker arms on either end of the head. For the #1 cylinder, the exhaust valve is the one closest to the flywheel side of the engine, and the intake valve is the next one towards the rear of the car. For example, if you're underneath the car and looking at the head, this is the pattern: Ex #2, In #2, In #1, Ex #1.
1. Intake valves are usually larger than exhaust valves 2. Exhaust valves are on the same side as the exhaust manifold
