Valve bridges, also known as crossheads, are used in cylinder heads with four valves per cylinder.
The valve bridge spans a pair of intake or exhaust valves, allowing one rocker arm to open both valves simultaneously.
The valve bridge is typically positioned by a guide pin that is pressed into the cylinder head casting.
Valve bridges can be either adjustable or non-adjustable, depending on the engine design.
