[anand123]

Hi every one,
I have following query?
Could someone tell me the difference between petrol engine and diesel engine compressor valve reed (suction reed and discharge reed)?
Could someone tell me, any relation between compress valve reed thickness and reed length?

Most petrol and diesel engine nowadays use poppet valves I believe.
