Total engine revolution 720 degree

4 Stroke Cycle

The Intake Stroke consist of the piston

travelling down.

Intake valves are open to allow

Air/Fuel mixture to come into the combustion chamber.

Intake

It is an electrical device that fits into the cylinder head and ignites air fuel

mixtures.

Compression stroke consist of the piston travelling back up.

Both intake and exhaust valves are closed

Air fuel mixture is now being compressed

The piston is now at the TDC

Spark plug ignites, creating a spark that ignites the compressed air fuel mixture.

Explosion is created and the piston is forced back down.

Hence the Power stroke

Both valves are still closed
