Are the inlet valves made of the same material as exhaust valves or have different treatmnet?

Most intake valves are made of the same material as the exhaust. They are heat resistant treated high carbon steel, as are the valve seats.
The exhaust valve is usually larger in diameter to aid in scavenging of the spent hot exhaust gas.
Some more expensive engines have sodium (Na) filled exhaust valves to aid heat transfer
to the valve seat to help cool the valve.

What is the material for inlet and exhaust valves?
Cast iron with Crome 25%
Why are intake and exhaust valves different materials?
The exhaust valve runs much hotter than the intake valve, so it has to be made out of a more durable(and more expensive) material. The intake valve can get by with a simpler and less expensive material.
Why are valve clearances different on each valve?
Intake valves run cooler than exhaust valves and they are made of different material, so their thermal expansion is less than the exhaust valves. Therefore, they can have a smaller valve lash clearance, since they won't 'grow' as much due to thermal expansion, and won't present the problem of slamming into the top of the piston as readily as exhaust valves with too-small valve lash clearances will. But, not all engines have dissimilar valve lash clearances on intake and exhaust. Many small single-cylinder engines have exactly the same clearance on both intake and exhaust valves.
What material is the engine valves made of?
Most stock engine valves are made from steel alloys. Higher performance/ aftermarket valves are stainless steel, Titanium or inconel (exhaust valves).
Which valves are exhaust and which are intake valves on Honda 400ex?
Exhaust valves are always smaller.
What is valves on cars?
Valves control the in-flow and out-flow of fuel, air and exhaust fumes in a combustion engine (known as intake valves and exhaust valves). A 4-cylinder engine with 16 valves will have 4 valves per cylinder, with two intake and two exhaust valves per cylinder. With experience it is easy to tell the sounds of the valves apart because each engine sounds different with different valves. Generally the less number of valves means a deeper/throatier sound from the cars and vice-versa
Which are the intake valves and which are exhaust valves on 2002 Chevy Silverado 1500 2wd 5.3l engine?
The exhaust valves are smaller and lead to the exhaust manifold.
Should the intake and exhaust valves be close when the?
Yes the intake and exhaust valves have to be close.
How do identify the intake and exhaust valves with the heads on the car?
Trace the runners. You can see the exhaust runners leading to the exhaust valves, and the intake runners leading to the intake valves.
Why do intake valves wear and exhaust valves do not This is a Honda CRF250r?
dirt into engine is a big problem and the intake are made softer material due to less heat on valve faces
On a Chevy 409 which valves are exhaust and which are intake?
The intake valves are bigger, and lead to the carburetor. the exhaust valves are smaller and lead to the manifolds or headers.
How do you adjust valves on 5.7 vortec?
There are 2 different types of valves on the 5.7 L vortex engine. Both the exhaust and fuel injection valves can be adjusted by turning the adjustment screws.
