Both the distributor and the camshaft must be timed to the top of the piston stroke.
* The camshaft controls the valve operation, and valves must be timed to open only when there will be optimum gas flow (both air/fuel mixture during the intake and exhaust gas flow during the exhaust cycle) * The distributor (or whatever other ignition timing scheme is used) must be timed to fire at the top of the compression stroke so that the engine will extract the most usable power from the combustion process. Note that ignition timing is dynamic, meaning that ignition timing changes as the torque and speed demands change.

What are the advantages a mechanic could get if he is skillful in setting piston to top dead center compression stroke?
yeah men
What causes no compression in a 2 stroke dirt bike?
No compression could be various things from your piston to your crank start with your piston by doing a compression test
Which type of the engine brake uses the compression stroke of the piston as its retarding stroke?
You're talking about an engine compression brake, commonly referred to as a Jake Brake.
Where should the cam position be when setting timing marks on a 1994 Honda Civic 1.5L sohc?
#1 piston should be at TDC and both valves closed (compression stroke)
What is the compression ratio for an engine?
It is the volume of the cylinder/combustion chamber/head gasket/piston volume(dish/dome) when the piston is at the bottom of the stroke divided by the volume when it is at the top of the stroke.
Compression ratio of the internal combustion engine is defined as?
The compression ratio of an internal-combustion engine, or an IC engine as it is more commonly called, is the ratio of the volume the highest capacity of the combustion chamber to its lowest capacity. In the IC engine, the piston makes a stroke, resulting in the compression of the air in the combustion chamber - the ratio between the volume of the cylinder and combustion chamber when the piston is at the bottom of its stroke, and the volume of the combustion chamber when the piston is at the top of its stroke, is the compression ratio.
Differences between 2 stroke and 4 stroke engines?
Two strokes have two cycles the piston go through intake/compression and ignition/exhaust where four strokes have four separate piston cycles intake compression ignition and exhaust.
What is the air chambers purpose in a 2 stroke dirt bike?
the air chamber in a KTM 2T is for back compression in the moter . without back compression the moter will not work couse the back compression efects the giro of the motor so the piston will not go up and down
What is wrong with a 86 Honda when there is no compression in the motor?
Bad compression is usually worn out piston rings, no compression is usually bad valves - assuming it's a 4-stroke.
How fuel works in cars engine?
All gasoline engines are four-stroke designs. An engine has an intake stroke where the intake valve is open and the piston is moving downward, creating a vacuum that sucks the fuel into the cylinder. The next stroke is the compression stroke. The intake valve closes, and the piston begins to move upward and compresses the fuel in preparation for ignition. The third stroke is the power stroke. The piston is approaches the top of the cylinder in the compression stroke. Just before it gets to top dead center, the spark plug fires and ignites the fuel. The fuel rapidly expands and pushes the piston down with great force. The last stroke is the exhaust stroke. In this stroke, the piston completes the power stroke and begins to rise again. At this point the exhaust valve opens, and the piston forces the exhaust out of the cylinder in preparation for the intake stroke.
What term is used to describe the distance the piston travels from TDC to bdc when calculating compression ratio?
stroke
At what position is top dead center on a crate 350?
the piston in cylinder #1 at the top on the compression stroke
