Correct. A 4 stroke engine has oil contained within the crankcase that is pumped around to all rotating parts. Because the 2 stroke takes its fuel into the crankcase on route to the cylinder, lubrication is added to the fuel to keep the crank lubed. This is the main reason 2 stroke engines are less popular today as the lube oil within the fuel gets burnt. Emission regulations mean it gets tougher to keep the exhaust gases clean enough.

How oil is distributed to all moving parts within the engine?

Depends on the engine. Some 2-strokes are lubricated by having oil added to the fuel. Apart from that there's pressure lubrication and splash lubrication. In pressure lube there's a pump driven by the motor which force oil along drilled out conduits and pipes and out to where there is metal-to-metal moving contact. From the lubrication points oil drops back into a trough at the bottom of the engine where the pump is sitting before being pumped out once again. In splash lube the oil level, trough design and crank axle are matched so that the crank will dip below the oil level when it's spinning around. The splashing and cast off from the crank distributes oil to all the other places inside the engine block. Most 4-strokes, like car engines are a combination of splash and and pressure lube. Pressure lube will serve the crank axle and the valve assembly, but cast off from the crank will serve the pistons.


What happens when you add too much oil to a dirt bike engine?

If you are talking about engine oil in a 4 stroke: the crankshaft beats in in to a foam which dos not lube the bearing very well. If you are talking about using too much mix oil in a 2 stroke: you run too lean and risk burning a piston.

How do you get compression on a blaster?

Blasters are 2u strokes which means unlike the four stroke they only have the power and exhaust stroke. They dont need the intake stroke because the gas is already mixed in with the oil (yama-lube recommended) . Now u might notice a blaster doesent have a compression stroke. This is because the motors gain compression by not having a timing chain between the crank and the cam (because ther are no valves). This means there is no where for compression to escape thus giving u


Why does loss of lube oil occur?

when the gasket between the engine block and crankcase is old , there is a possibility some lube oil to leak and reduce the level. Temperature in the engine cause metal friction can evaporate some lube oil indeed.

What happen in the upward stroke of the two stroke engine?

when the piston moves up in two stroke engine first of all it covers the scavenge ports and then when it moves little bit up then cylinder lube oil is injected between the piston rings. when it further moves and compress the scavenge air and the temperature of the air inside the cylinder increases above the auto ignition temperature of the fuel oil. and before the piston reaches TDC the fuel is injected and hence the combustion begins.

How do you change a rear seal on a 94 Chevy half ton?

You will have to pull the transmission and flywheel the rear main seal is on the back of the engine, and it will be a 1 piece seal that goes over the crank shaft and drives into a houseing that holds the seal in place. need to lube crank with grease or oil before installing seal. You will need a seal driver. You can not get to it by removeing the oil pan. You can pull the engine out and leave the transmission in and get to it that way. IT IS EASER TO REMOVE THE TRANS.
