Valve Job

Valve Job Info For All Drivers

Keeping your engine running smoothly means making sure every part is performing at its best — including the valves. A valve job is one of the most important services for maintaining engine power and efficiency. At Don & Harold’s Car Care in Long Beach, California, our expert mechanics specialize in performing precise valve jobs for all makes and models, ensuring your vehicle runs like new.

A valve job involves reconditioning or replacing the engine’s intake and exhaust valves, valve seats, and guides. These components control the flow of air and exhaust gases through the engine’s cylinders. Over time, valves can wear down, lose their seal, or burn, leading to poor compression and reduced performance. By resurfacing or replacing worn parts, a valve job restores engine compression, improves fuel efficiency, and extends the life of your vehicle.

Signs your vehicle may need a valve job include:

  • Rough idling or misfiring

  • Noticeable loss of power or acceleration

  • Blue or white smoke from the exhaust

  • Excessive oil consumption

  • Poor fuel economy

  • Tapping or clicking noises from the engine

If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to have your car inspected by a professional mechanic. Ignoring valve problems can lead to serious engine damage and costly repairs.

At Don & Harold’s Car Care, our ASE-certified technicians use precision tools and advanced diagnostic equipment to ensure every valve job meets factory specifications.
