BASIC EXPLANATION OF A GASOLINE ENGINE
Each car engine (excluding Rotary) has four strokes (Technically 5)
INTAKE(1)
COMPRESSION(2)
IGNITION(3)
POWER(4) This stroke isn't always considered when talking about engines.
EXHAUST(5)
Let me break that down for you :D
INTAKE: Air and fuel come into the cylinder through the Intake valves.
The spark from the
COMPRESSION: The Air and Fuel mix, and compress as the piston goes up.
IGNITION: plug ignites the air/fuel mix.
POWER: The mini explosion inside the cylinder throws the piston back down causing the next piston to rise up in the same procedure.
EXHAUST: The Burned up air/fuel mix exits the cylinder through the Exhaust Valves.
