Not all 4 stroke engines are upright. How about the Chevrolet Corvair, the air cooled VW, a typical vertical shaft lawn mower. It doesn't matter as long as the oil sump/reservoir is located at the bottom.

very large is the keyword here. for a very large engines that runs large machines, we need high power engines. two-strike cycle engines produce more power than 4-stroke cycle engines. that's why they are used. as they produce more pollution than 4-strokes, they must be limited to small spaced engines machines or large machines that required very high power.


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

Why four stroke engines are not used for marine propulsion?

They are - most inboard engines are 4-stroke. But as with land vehicles, you can get a smaller engine with 2-stroke (or more horsepower with a smaller engine) so the small engines like some outboards tend to be 2-stroke.


Are 4 stroke outboard motor engines for boats going to be outlawed?

4 stroke outboard motor engines are unlikely to be outlawed anytime in the near future. 2 stroke engines probably will be outlawed. 2 stroke engines pollute the atmosphere. 4 stroke engines are standard gasoline engines like are in automobiles. They will probably be required to get better pollution control equipment, which will be easy. They will probably be required to be made more efficient, which will not be quite as easy. They will probably not be outlawed.
