This paper presents the oil leakage characteristics of the valve stem system in gasoline engines. For the oil leakage investigation, four study models have been prepared as functions of used poppet valve and used valve stem seal, used poppet valve and unused valve stem seal, unused poppet valve and used valve stem seal, and unused poppet valve and unused valve stem seal. With four models, the experimental study on the oil leakage has been investigated for the oil temperature, intake pressure, and camshaft speed. The experimental results show that the sealing performance of the valve stem seal plays an important role on the leakage of the valve stem system. And the appropriate replacement of a stem seal with used poppet valve shows good sealing performance in oil leakage in compared with a new valve system.
