  2. Valve timing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_timing

    Valve timing diagram for a 4-stroke engine. With traditional fixed valve timing, an engine will have a period of "valve overlap" at the end of the exhaust stroke, when both the intake and exhaust valves are open. The intake valve is opened before the exhaust gases have completely left the cylinder, and their considerable velocity assists in ...

  3. Four-stroke engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-stroke_engine

    Four-stroke cycle used in gasoline/petrol engines: intake (1), compression (2), power (3), and exhaust (4). The right blue side is the intake port and the left brown side is the exhaust port.

  4. Mercedes-Benz M176/M177/M178 engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../M177/M178_engine

    Valves per cylinder 4 ; Variable valve timing Camshaft adjustment on both the inlet and outlet side; Displacement 3,982 cc (4.0 L; 243.0 cu in) Bore x stroke 83 mm × 92 mm (3.27 in × 3.62 in) Cylinder spacing 90 mm (3.54 in) Compression ratio 10.5:1

  5. Desmodromic valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desmodromic_valve

    A desmodromic valve is a reciprocating engine poppet valve that is positively closed by a cam and leverage system, rather than by a more conventional spring. The valves in a typical four-stroke engine allow the air/fuel mixture into the cylinder at the beginning of the cycle and exhaust spent gases at the end of the cycle.

  6. Mitsubishi 4B1 engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsubishi_4B1_engine

    The difference in displacement is achieved by variance in bore and stroke. [4] The 4B1 engine family is the first to have the continuously variable valve timing MIVEC system applied not only to its intake valves but also to its exhaust valves. The intake and exhaust cam timing is continuously independently controlled and provide four optimized ...

  7. Firing order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firing_order

    For this inline-4 engine, 1-3-4-2 could be a valid firing order.. The firing order of an internal combustion engine is the sequence of ignition for the cylinders.. In a spark ignition (e.g. gasoline/petrol) engine, the firing order corresponds to the order in which the spark plugs are operated.

  8. Miller cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller_cycle

    The engine (whether four-stroke or two-stroke) has a conventional valve or port layout, but an additional "compression control valve" (CCV) is in the cylinder head. The servo mechanism, operated by inlet manifold pressure, controls the lift of the CCV during part of the compression stroke and releases air from the cylinder to the exhaust manifold.

  9. General Motors Atlas engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_Atlas_engine

    It displaces 4.2 L (4,160 cc; 253.9 cu in), with a 93 mm × 102 mm (3.66 in × 4.02 in) bore and stroke. It has four valves per cylinder, utilizes dual-overhead cams design, and features variable valve timing on the exhaust cam, a first for GM inline engines.
