yes
They are closed during the power stage.
Both the intake and the exhaust valve are closed.

If im not mistaken, during the power stage the intake and exhaust valves are both closed. the intake valve opens pulling air into the cylinder (cycle one) and the exhaust valve opens (cycle 4) to relase the air fuel mix that was ignited.
During the power or combustion stage of a piston cycle, both valves are necessarily closed, because the expansion of gases is driving the piston down.
In a four-stroke engine, the intake valve opens in the intake stroke, allowing air-fuel mixture to enter, while the exhaust valve remains closed. During the compression stroke, both valves stay closed to build pressure. In the power stroke, the fuel ignites, pushing the piston down, with both valves still closed to retain pressure. Finally, in the exhaust stroke, the exhaust valve opens, allowing gases to escape, while the intake valve stays shut. This cycle repeats continuously, ensuring efficient engine operation.
The four strokes of an internal combustion engine are intake, compression, power, and exhaust. During the intake stroke, air and fuel are drawn into the combustion chamber. In the compression stroke, the mixture is compressed. The power stroke is when the compressed mixture is ignited to create power, while the exhaust stroke expels the burned gases from the chamber.
closedUpdated answer,Firstly the four stages of an "Otto Cycle Engine" are, Induction the intake valve is opening, to let fuel and air mixture into piston chamber. Compression the intake valve and exhaust are shut to compress fuel air mixture. Powerfuel air mixture ignited, both the intake and the exhaust valves are closed. And finally Exhaust when the exhaust valve is open to release spent gasses. At idle speed approximately 800 rpm it should be appreciated timing is important.
