Its as simple as 'Suck, Squeeze, Bang, Blow'.
1st stroke Down = vacuum draws in air and fuel from carb (suck)
2nd stroke UP = Compression of air and fuel (Squeeze)
3rd stroke Down = Mixture of air and fuel explodes pushing cylinder down. (Bang)
4th stroke Up = Kinetic movement of piston and crank shaft keeps moving pushing the cylinder back up and expelling the burnt air and fuel mixture. (blow)
back to 1st stroke again.
when most engines have 4 pistons all doing this at slightly different times the Bank stoke gives more than the force required to compress another cylinders contents.
During the compression stroke in an internal combustion engine, the piston moves upward, compressing the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber. This compression increases the pressure and temperature of the mixture, preparing it for ignition.
The stage that occurs just before ignition in an internal combustion engine is the compression stroke. During this stage, the piston moves upward in the cylinder, compressing the air-fuel mixture, preparing it for combustion when the spark plug ignites the mixture.
The gas vapor air mixture enters the cylinder during the intake stroke of the four-stroke cycle. This mixture is then compressed during the compression stroke before being ignited by a spark plug, leading to combustion and generation of power during the power stroke. Finally, the exhaust gases are expelled during the exhaust stroke.
The expanding high-pressure gases from combustion push the piston down the cylinder during the power stroke in an internal combustion engine. This force generated by the burning fuel drives the piston down, converting the pressure and heat energy into mechanical energy to rotate the engine's crankshaft.
The combustion chamber, exhaust manifold, and cylinder head are typically the hottest parts of a heat engine due to the combustion process and heat generated during operation.

During the intake stroke of an internal combustion engine, the air and fuel mixture enters the cylinder. As the piston moves down, it creates a vacuum that draws in the air-fuel mixture through the open intake valve. This process sets the stage for the subsequent compression and combustion strokes.
The gas vapor air mixture enters the cylinder during the intake stroke of the four-stroke cycle. This mixture is then compressed during the compression stroke before being ignited by a spark plug, leading to combustion and generation of power during the power stroke. Finally, the exhaust gases are expelled during the exhaust stroke.
The intake valve is located in the cylinder head of an internal combustion engine. It allows air and fuel mixture to enter the combustion chamber during the intake stroke of the engine cycle. Typically, there are multiple intake valves per cylinder, depending on the engine design, to optimize airflow and performance.
The expanding high-pressure gases from combustion push the piston down the cylinder during the power stroke in an internal combustion engine. This force generated by the burning fuel drives the piston down, converting the pressure and heat energy into mechanical energy to rotate the engine's crankshaft.
From the result of combustion during the power stroke of each cylinder.
This is called the compression stage. During the four stroke sycle (Otto cycle) the four stokes are induction, compression, power and exhaust. Each piston does this in a set order to even out the stresses caused, and thereby smooth the output. For example the firing order (i.e. power stroke) on a four cylinder engine could be 1,3,4 and 2 or 1,2,4 and 3.
The diesel engine doesn't have any spark plugs, and uses heat generated during compression to ignite the fuel. The diesel however, is an internal combustion engine.
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.
