During the compression stroke, both the intake and exhaust valves are closed. This sealing allows the piston to compress the air-fuel mixture (in gasoline engines) or air (in diesel engines) within the cylinder, increasing the pressure and temperature before ignition. The closed valves ensure that no gases escape and that the compression is efficient, setting the stage for a powerful combustion event in the subsequent power stroke.

How can you tell if your on the compression or exhaust stroke?
You can determine if you're on the compression or exhaust stroke by observing the position of the piston and the alignment of the crankshaft. When the piston is at the top dead center (TDC) and both valves are closed, it's the compression stroke. Conversely, if the piston is moving down from TDC and the exhaust valve is open, then it's the exhaust stroke. Additionally, you can feel for air pressure at the spark plug hole during the compression stroke.
Where should the lobes of the intake and exhaust cams be on number 1 cyl at tdc on 98 Mazda 626?
At TDC of the compression stroke for cyl #1, the cam lobes will be in a position such that they are putting no pressure on the valves, and valves are closed. At TDC of the exhaust stroke for cyl #1, the lobes will be in a position such that intake and exhaust valves may be open. Exhaust will be closing, and intake will be opening. There are two revolutions for the crank for one of the cam. TDC usually refers to TDC of the compression stroke, when valves are closed. This is when combustion/spark occurs, and is when the valves are adjusted on most engines.
How do you know when you are on a compression strock?
You know you are on a compression stroke in an engine when the piston is moving upwards, compressing the air-fuel mixture within the combustion chamber. This is typically indicated by the intake and exhaust valves being closed during this stroke.
What happens during a compression stroke?
During a compression stroke in an internal combustion engine, the piston moves upward in the cylinder, compressing the air-fuel mixture. As the piston ascends, the intake valves close, creating a high-pressure environment. This compression raises the temperature of the mixture, making it more volatile and ready for ignition. At the end of the stroke, a spark plug ignites the compressed mixture, initiating the power stroke.
Replacing distributor on 98 vortech 305 when the old position was not marked. Can you set the engine at tdc and line the distributor rotor up with 1 cylinder position?
Make sure both valves are closed in compression stroke. If not you will be 180 degrees off (exhaust stroke)
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)
Does the first piston return to the top position once for firing and once for discharge and can you get the firing order off 360 degrees?
Yes - at the compression stroke both valves are closed (ready to fire) at the exhaust stroke the exhaust valve is open
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.
Where is the compression stroke located on a 1997 dodge ram 2500?
The compression stroke is not part of the engine. It is what happens when the pistons are on the upward with closed valves.See link below.The compression stroke is not part of the engine. It is what happens when the pistons are on the upward with closed valves.See link below.
Which valves are open on the compression stroke?
During the compression stroke of an internal combustion engine, both the intake and exhaust valves are closed. This closure allows the piston to compress the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder, increasing its pressure and temperature in preparation for ignition. The intake valve remains closed to prevent any backflow of the mixture, while the exhaust valve is also closed to contain the combustion gases until the power stroke is completed.
Describe the position of the intake valve and the exhaust valve during each stroke of a four stroke engine?
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.
When the number one cylinder is on its compression stroke is the intake valve open?
The piston is on the up stroke to compress so both valves are closed
