More Information
Summary:An engine valve assembly is provided with a valve housing configured to promote easy fastening and removal of the valve assembly from an engine cover. The housing has a first wall and a side wall that extends therefrom to partially define an interior cavity with a cavity opening opposite the first wall. In some embodiments, the first wall has a generally teardrop-shaped surface. The first wall has a valve opening and a fastener opening that is spaced from and aligned with the valve opening along the first wall. A valve body is supported by the valve housing at least partially within the interior cavity, and may be press-fit therein. The valve housing mounts to the engine cover with the fastener inserted through the fastener opening to extend through the interior cavity and fasten to the engine cover, with the valve body extending into the engine cover.
