Kia Rio Valves & Valvetrain Parts

The valvetrain is what allows the necessary amount of air-and-fuel mixture in and lets all of the exhaust gases out. Although, with time and higher miles, your Kia Rio’s valvetrain will begin to wear out. The usual tell-tale signs of your valvetrain requiring attention include noises which are somewhat similar to the actual clicking of a sewing machine. Sticking lifters is one more issue, with the parts getting stuck from varnish buildup which forms from the motor oil, carbon buildup, and gasoline vapors. Blue smoke coming from the tailpipe is one more classic sign of your valves getting worn.

When valve seals and guides wear out, they allow a considerable amount of motor oil to seep through while igniting and burning within the combustion chambers. And of course, one more indicative sign of your valvetrain parts getting worn out is engine power loss. If the valve seals and guides leak motor oil, then it can easily accumulate up on top of the valves themselves, causing them to lose their seats and creating gaps. This could cause further issues with cylinder compression, which will lead to worsening combustion and power losses.
