DIAGRAM 1-1-5
Intake Stroke
: The piston begins its cycle at the top of the cylinder, with the exhaust valve closed and the intake valve open. A vacuum is created as the piston moves downward drawing a vaporized fuel mixture into the cylinder.
(figure available in print form)
Compression Stroke
: After drawing in the fuel mixture the piston is forced upward by the crankshaft; the intake valve is closed by linkage of valve lifters, pusrods, and rocker arms driven by a camshaft.
(figure available in print form)
Power Stroke
: Combustion takes place when the compressed fuel-air mixture is ignited by the spark plug.
(figure available in print form)
Exhaust
: The exhaust valve is open as the piston reaches bottom and move upward again, forcing the burn gases out of the cylinder.
