Four Stroke IC Engine

Piston moves up and down TWICE to complete a cycle.


Process takes TWO revolutions of the crankshaft



4 Strokes:


Intake (piston moves DOWN)


Compression (piston moves UP)


Power (piston moves DOWN)


Exhaust (piston moves UP)

4 Stroke - Intake #1

Intake Stroke



Piston moves down and the intake valve opens. Air/Fuel mixture is drawn into the cylinder by the vacuum generated by the downward stroke.

4 Stroke Intake #2

Compression Stroke



Piston moves up in the cylinder. Both intake and exhaust valves are closed. Compresses the air/fuel mixture which generates heat. When piston near top of upward travel, spark plug fires igniting the air/fuel mixture.

4 Stroke Intake #3

Power Stroke



Mixture burns, creating gases which expand quickly pushing piston down. This stroke produces the engines power.

4 Stroke Intake #4

Exhaust Stroke



Exhaust valves open and the waste gases (products of combustion) are pushed out of the cylinder by the rising piston. The engine then starts another complete cycle.

Two Stroke IC Engine

The piston moves up and down ONCE to complete a cycle.


This process takes ONE revolution of the crankshaft.



2 Strokes are:


Intake/Exhaust & Compression (piston moves UP)


Intake/Exhaust & Power (piston moves DOWN)



Functions the same as four stroke engines but in a combined manner


2 Stroke #1

Intake/Exhaust & Compression



Downward movement of the piston, waste gases are exhausted and an air/fuel mixture is drawn into the cylinder by the vacuum generated.

2 Stroke #2

Upward movement of the piston the air/fuel mixture is compressed generating heat.


When piston reaches the top of its upward travel the spark plug fires igniting the mixture.
