What are the strokes of a gasoline engine?

[DelLeilani]

Gasoline engine strokes are: intake stroke, compression stroke, power stroke, and exhaust stroke. If a vehicle is labeled as a four-stroke gasoline engine, it indicates that the engine's operational cycle consists of four piston strokes. The intake stroke primarily functions to continuously draw in air, atomize fuel through a carburetor or fuel injection system, and compress the gas as the piston moves upward. The length of the stroke directly affects the piston speed of the engine; as the stroke increases, so does the piston speed, leading to greater mechanical wear and tear.
