A 2 stroke engine requires you to mix 2 cycle oil in with the gasoline. This requires more money, and it is much more trouble to have oil with you every time you fill the gas tank up. A 4 stroke engine only requires oil in the lower part of the engine, and it burns gasoline right out of the gas station pump. 2 cycles also pollute very bad, as the blue smoke that is a characteristic of them is bad pollution.

Diesel engines can be built in both 2-stroke and 4-stroke


Why you prefer four stroke engine over two stroke engine?

Four stroke engines are quieter than two strokes, but have less power.


What are the strokes in a two stroke diesel engine?

suction stroke and exhaust strokes are the two strokes involved in 2 stroke engine....


What is the name of the two stroke engine cycle?

I think you are looking for a detailed engineering answer. Common usage is that a two stroke engines is called a two stroke engine. By the way my experience says that two stroke engines only have two strokes and the second one is fatal.


What is different between 4 stroke engine and 6 stroke engine?

As per my knowledge, There is no any 6 stroke engine in existance. The engines are catagorised as 2 Stroke and 4 stroke engines. The difference is 1)Suction 2)Compression 3)Ignition and 4) Exhaust (called power cycle) complete in 2 or 4 strokes.


In two stroke engine Crankshaft how many revolution takes place?

A two stroke engine has half the strokes of an otto (or four stroke) engine, therefore it takes two crankshaft roatations to complete a cycle on a four stroke engine and only one revolution in a two stroke engine. There are several types of two stroke engines, the different types have to do with how the receive the air/fuel mixture, also you have two stroke diesel engines.


If the crankshaft of a two stroke engine is rotating at 900rpm how many power strokes occur each second?

Two stroke engines have one power/exhaust stroke and one intake/compression stroke per revolution per cylinder. A One cylinder engine at 900rpm produces 15 power strokes per second.


Why two stroke engines are hi-speed engines and four stroke engines are hi-torque engines?

generally , two strokes are smaller capacity , shorter stroke, higher revs. for given engine capacity , long stroke /small bore = high torque / low revs short stroke/big bore = low torque / high revs


How does a two stroke engine combine the four strokes of a typical internal combustion engine?

A two stroke engine combines the four strokes of a typical internal combustion engine into two strokes instead of four.


What is the difference in combustion in a 2 stroke engine and a 4 stroke engine?

2 stroke means it takes two strokes for a power stroke and 4 sroke takes four strokes for power stroke so in otherwise 2 strokes are way faster and more torqey


2 stroke vs 4 stroke?

On a 2 stroke engine, each cylinder fires every time the piston comes up. On a 4 stroke engine, the cylinder only fires every OTHER time the piston comes up. 4 stroke engines have 4 strokes: Intake, compression, power, and exhaust. 2 stroke engines complete these cycles in only two strokes of the piston by use of ports in the cylinder walls. 2 stroke engines usually produce more power for a given weight/size. But, in gasoline engines, 2 stroke engines are typically less efficient (use more gas) and have much higher pollution levels (note: some newer "direct injection" 2 stroke engines do much better on pollution levels than the typical 2 stroke)


What do you mean by two stoke engine?

A two-stroke engine is an internal combustion engine that completes a power cycle with two strokes of the piston, or one crankshaft revolution. Unlike four-stroke engines, which require four strokes of the piston to complete a cycle (intake, compression, power, and exhaust), two-stroke engines combine intake and compression into one stroke and power and exhaust into another. This design allows for a simpler and lighter engine with fewer moving parts, often resulting in higher power-to-weight ratios. However, two-stroke engines typically have lower fuel efficiency and higher emissions compared to their four-stroke counterparts.
