    Four-Stroke Engine

    Basics
    Objectives:

    ● After the completion of this


    power point, the student will
    understand:
    ○ What a four-stroke engine is,
    ○ Other engine types,
    ○ Basic components of a four-stroke
    engine,
    ○ The four-stroke cycle.
    The Basics

    ● A four-stroke engine:
    ● Is an internal combustion engine,
    ● Converts gasoline into motion,
    ● Is the most common car engine
    type,
    ● Is relatively efficient,
    ● Is relatively inexpensive.
    Other Engine Types

    ● Two-stroke engines
    ● Diesel engines
    ● Rotary engines
    ● Turbine engines
    ● Steam engines
    Basic Components of
    Four-Stroke Engines
    Camshaft

    Intake Valve
    Exhaust Valve

    Valve Cover
    Spark Plug

    Intake Port
    Exhaust Port

    Head
    Piston

    Connecting Rod
    Coolant

    Rod Bearings

    Engine Block
    Crankshaft

    Oil Sump
    Diagram
    A. Intake Valve

    ● Opens at the proper time to let


    in air and fuel. Larger than the
    exhaust valve.

    Back
    B. Valve cover

    ● Protects the valves and the


    valve springs. Keeps dirt out
    and lubricating oil in.

    Back
    C. Intake Port

    ● The passageway in a cylinder


    head for the fuel and air to pass
    through.

    Back
    C. Head

    ● A platform containing most of


    the parts of the combustion
    chamber.

    Back
    E. Coolant

    ● Circulating water and antifreeze


    to keep the temperature
    regulated.

    Back
    F. Engine Block

    ● Cast in one piece. The basis for


    most of the parts of the engine.

    Back
    G. Oil Pan

    ● Where the oil is collected and


    recirculated.

    Back
    H. Oil Sump

    ● The collected oil primarily for


    lubricating the crankshaft and
    rod bearing

    Back
    I. Camshaft

    ● A round shaft with lobes, that


    rotates to open and close the
    fuel and exhaust valves.

    Back
    J. Exhaust Valve

    ● Opens at the proper time to


    release the exhaust.

    Back
    K. Spark Plug

    ● A device inserted into the


    combustion chamber for firing
    an electrical spark to ignite
    air-fuel mixture

    Back
    L. Exhaust Port

    ● The passageway in a cylinder


    head for the exhaust to pass
    through

    Back
    M. Piston

    ● The part of the engine that


    moves up and down in the
    cylinder converting the gasoline
    into motion

    Back
    N. Connecting Rod

    ● Links the piston to the


    crankshaft.

    Back
    O. Rod Bearing

    ● Used to reduce friction to the


    rod and crankshaft

    Back
    P. Crankshaft

    ● Converts the up and down


    motion of the piston into a
    turning, or rotating motion

    Back
    The 4-Stroke Cycle

    ● 1. Intake
    ● 2. Compression
    ● 3. Combustion
    ● 4. Exhaust

    Back Next
    The Intake Stroke

    ● The process of
    filling the cylinder
    with the proper
    air-fuel mixture
    through the intake
    valve.

    Back
    The Compression Stroke

    ● Compression-
    The process of
    compressing the
    air-fuel mixture in
    the cylinder to
    make it more
    combustible.

    Back
    The Combustion Stroke

    ● Combustion-the
    process of igniting
    the compressed
    air-fuel mixture to
    create motion and
    the overall power
    of the engine.
    ● Also known as the
    power stroke.
    Back
    The Exhaust Stroke

    ● The process of
    releasing the
    exhaust out of
    the cylinder
    through the
    exhaust valve.
    ● Prepares
    chamber for the
    next charge.
    Back
    Application

    ● Now that you understand the


    basics of four-stroke engines,
    how can you use this
    information in the real world?
