In a 4-stroke engine, the steps (strokes) are:
Unlike the four stroke one, a two stroke engine has three strokes combined into one action, meaning the intake and exhaust are both integrated into the compression movement of the piston, therefore eliminating the need for valves. This is thanks to an inlet and exhaust port integrated into the wall of the combustion chamber.
As the piston goes down from combustion, spent gasses are allowed to exit the chamber through the exhaust port. The air-fuel mixture is drawn through an inlet located lower in the chamber. As the piston rises again, it blocks off the inlet and exhaust ports, compressing the gasses at the top of the chamber. The spark plug fires and the process starts over.
The spark plug fires on every revolution.
=====
A two stroke engine can produce twice the amount of power (and makes twice as much noise) than a four stroke engine of the same size. This is because it fires once every revolution, giving it twice the power of a four stroke, which only fires once every other revolution. Significantly, it also has a higher weight-to-power ratio because it is much lighter.
Two stroke engines are simpler and cheaper to manufacture compared to four stroke engines because of their simpler design. Four stroke engines are longer lasting than two stroke engines that don't have a dedicated lubricating system. However, the spark plugs in a two stroke engine last longer than those in a four stroke engine.
Four stroke engines are more fuel efficient and environmentally friendly when compared to two stroke engines that also create an unpleasant smell. Two stroke engines are responsible for much more pollution due to the combustion of the oil that has to be added to the fuel to lubricate the piston.
The difference between 2stroke engines and 4-stroke engines are pretty much the same regardless of where the engine is used. To read about it, check out the related question below.
Four-stroke engines have a spout where you add oil to the engine. On two-stroke engines, oil has to be added to the fuel. (Four-stroke and two-stroke are also called four-cycle and two-cycle, respectively).
There is no thermodynamic difference between them .
Diesel engines are still 4-stroke (unless and early Detroit engine which were 2-stroke) only real difference between gas and diesel is fuel delivery and ignition.diesel uses high compression,fuel atomization and heat to fire cylinder,where gas engines need a ignition source.hope info was helpfull.
if you see the difference between valves
All tug boat engines are four stroke engines, because this engine responces quickly in relation to maneuvering this kind of boat in any situation.
Most gasoline engines are four stroke engines which is also known as the Otto Cycle. 1) Intake 2) Compresson 3) Ignition 4) Exhaust (four strokes)

Two stroke engines will create a lot of visible smoke pollution and also more noise than four stroke engines. For these reason, many countries have required that all new motorcycles should be four-stroke.
Assuming you are referring to a street legal motorcycle (IE: Kawaski Vulcan, Ninja, etc.) these machines have four stroke engines. Dirt Bikes and such sometimes do not. Two-stroke engines generally use a fuel+oil mixture. (Such as a weed whacker) Four stroke engines generally have an oil sump. (Like a car)
Suck My @#$&
valves are use in four stroke engine, and ports are use in two stroke engine.
