Valve Timing And Port Timing – Lab related assignment

1. Which stroke is designated by the piston moving from TDC to BDC with both

intake and exhaust valves in the closed position?

2. What’s the difference between a petrol and diesel 4 stroke engine?

3. Why does the inlet valve open before the piston reaches the TDC ad exhaust

valve close after the piston reaches TDC?

4. Explain how the fuel injection pump works.

5. What’s the order in which pistons fire in a 4-cylinder diesel engine.

6. Why are 4-stroke engines more environmentally friendly than 2-stroke engines.

7. How is a 2-stroke engine lubricated.

8. “Theoretically, a 2-stroke engine produces more power than a 4-stroke engine of

the same piston size and mass”. Explain the statement.

9. Explain the function of the transport port.

10. During the second strike the exhaust and the transport ports are open at the

same time. Is this an issue?. Explain.
