Q:I need a valve cover gasket replacement because mine is leaking a tremendous amount of oil. The mechanic says it will cost about $269.00 plus tax. I wanted to make sure this figure was the average since I do not know a lot about cars. My car is a Mitsubishi Diamante 2001.

The gasket set is probably $ 20, so double that to $ 40..... 270 - 40 is 230, divided by 2 man-hours, which is the usually dealership minimum, gives $ 115 an hour. I DON'T THINK SO !!!! Unless you live in Hawaii where everything is expensive, that sounds steep.... real steep. Dealers around here get like $ 85 an hour, so two hours is 170, plus 40 is 210 bucks; Still killer money for the dealer..... I'd question that estimate ask if there is some extraordinary challenge to working on your car. It is possible there are accessories mounted over the valve cover that will have to be moved, or that's it's a canted V-6 with one valve cover tucked up against the fire wall. Be nice, smile, ask questions.... Maybe even have someone show you what has to be moved on your engine to get at the valve cover(s). If you're going to pay that much $$$, you should learn something, also.

Q:Can the inlet and outlet of butterfly valve be reversed? Why? What will happen if the reverse gear is installed?

Hard seal butterfly valve in any case, the reverse loading will cause tight seal.

Q:What are the butterfly valves models?

Divided by work pressure:(1) vacuum butterfly valve. Working pressure is lower than the standard atmospheric pressure butterfly valve.(2) low pressure butterfly valve. Butterfly valve with nominal pressure PN<1.6MPa.(3) medium pressure butterfly valve. Butterfly valve with nominal pressure PN 2.5--6.4MPa.(4) high pressure butterfly valve. Nominal pressure PN is 10. 0--80.0MPa butterfly valve.(5) ultra high pressure butterfly valve. Butterfly valve with nominal pressure PN>100MPa.At work temperature:(1) high temperature. T>450 degrees C butterfly valve.(2) medium temperature butterfly valve. 120 C<t<450 DEG butterfly valve.(3) normal temperature butterfly valve. A 40C<t<120 degree C butterfly valve.(4) low temperature butterfly valve. One 100<t< one, 40 degrees C butterfly valve.(5) ultra low temperature butterfly valve. T< one 100 degrees C butterfly valve.

Q:What is the butterfly valve

Double valve technology is the use of large sets of small valve valve technology, place a small butterfly in the large butterfly valve, when feeding in a large number of double valves open at the same time, the material quickly added, when the material is in accordance with the set to a certain number, the valve automatically shut down, by a small valve to feed, until it reaches the requirements of the control system the number of closed, so as to ensure high precision batching material, thereby saving expensive raw materials.

Q:I have a 1993 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme and I think I have the case of the blow-by. The engine had high mileage, but was rebuilt b/c it stalled while driving. 3.1L V6 gasoline engine. The fuel filter and the fuel pump are brand new. Now we have the same problem a few months later. It stalls while driving. Its been sitting a while and won't start by itself, so I pulled off the air intake hose off of the air filter to spray starting fluid into it. I noticed oil puddled in the air intake hose, so I looked for the PCV valve on the rocker cover. There is a tube going from the air-intake hose to the rocker cover. I popped out the tube from the rocker cover and there is no PCV valve. Just tube. Is that where the PCV valve is supposed to go? If not, where can I find it on the engine? And could that possibly fix the blow-by and the stalling engine? I'd appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

Q:Butterfly valve in the use of the difference? Caliber?

According to the function and use of the valve and butterfly valve, gate valve, small flow resistance, good sealing performance, the valve plate and the flow direction of the medium is the vertical angle, if the valve is not in place in the valve plate switch, wash medium on the valve plate of the valve plate is easy to fibrillation, according to valve seal damage.Also known as butterfly valve, control valve has a simple structure, can be used for low pressure pipeline valve switching control is closed parts (disc or disc) is a disk, around the valve axis to achieve the opening and closing a valve, the valve can be used to control the flow of air, water, steam steam, all kinds of corrosive medium, mud, oil, metals and radioactive liquid media and other types of fluid. On the pipeline, mainly from cutting and throttling. Butterfly valve headstock is a disc shaped disc, in the valve body around its own axis of rotation, so as to achieve the purpose of opening or closing or regulation.

Q:For example, the arrow above is from left to right, and the direction of my current is from right to left. Is that ok? I have a diameter of 700 of the hard seal butterfly valve is so installed, but it will leak water, it will not leak, very serious

The direction of the arrow on the valve body is cast, refers to the flow of media, users see the arrow, the arrow direction according to the logical and installation, this installation has become a habit, it is easy to accept the installation instructions, according to the national standard is not what error. But in the eccentric butterfly valve is installed so that sometimes there will be some problems, said the following example: according to the flow of eccentric butterfly valve with the medium flow consistent installation, tube medium is liquid, after the valve is closed, if the original direction of medium inlet pressure, reduced or zero, the export of medium reflux reflux, if senior supply, resulting in the high pressure medium, the pressure is greater than the inlet pressure, the valve will be subjected to reverse pressure, because the hard seal butterfly valve as a one-way valve so that the use is not conducive to sealing butterfly valve, and there will be leakage.

Q:What do you mean, handle, butterfly valve, hard back and soft back?

Hello, soft sealing butterfly valve is generally divided into skeleton, seat and frameless valve seat, the skeleton of the general material: resin, aluminum, iron.. Etc.. With back seat is on the back of the vulcanized rubber, without skeleton, valve seat is rubber.

Q:Is the pressure test of the centerline butterfly valve checked or checked?

The pressure test of the central butterfly valve is carried out at each station.Basis：1) GB/T12238-2008 flange and clamp connection elastic seal butterfly valveRules: butterfly valve must be carried out by factory inspection and testing, inspection qualified before leaving the factory.2) CJ/T 261-2007, butterfly valves for water supply and drainageRules: each product shall be inspected by factory and quality inspection department. After inspection, the product certificate shall be attached to the factory.Butterfly: also known as butterfly valve, control valve has a simple structure, can be used for low pressure pipeline valve switching control is closed parts (disc or disc) is a disk, around the valve axis to achieve the opening and closing a valve, the valve can be used to control air, water, steam, all kinds of corrosive media, mud, oil, metals and radioactive liquid media and other types of fluid flow. On the pipeline, mainly from cutting and throttling. Butterfly valve headstock is a disc shaped disc, in the valve body around its own axis of rotation, so as to achieve the purpose of opening or closing or regulation.

Q:16 inches below the choice of electromagnetic valve can be the same, it turned out to be DN200 election 1/4, and now there are DN350 can also use this? With it, limiter, pressure relief valve, locator model will change?

This is our company's products in Pucheng clean energy Co., Ltd. successful use case, if you need case details, you can give me a QQ number, I sent you. In addition, I suggest you add a pneumatic control valve, so that the safest, no map, I can give you. Saved is to look at the project site, if the north, the electromagnetic valve is recommended to use the 1/2 aperture, and a gas control valve or 1/4, it can guarantee the opening speed of the valve, special attention is on the use of the electromagnetic valve chain, this is very important, I will be the general experience specific issues to deal with specific, can not copy blindly, in most cases, this is no problem. And 1/4 also to see traffic, is also 1/4 solenoid valves, flow valve with big caliber is not the same, is not the same, the 1/4 path from the 2mm-12mm range, the CV value is small, about 0.1, with a large amount of 1.2, has big gap, valve opening time is also a great gap, to distinguish between the.
