FOUR-STROKE
ENGINE
THE MOVEMENT OF THE PISTONS IS CREATED IN 4 STEPS: INTAKE, COMPRESSION, COMBUSTION,
AND EXHAUST.
•First, the piston is pulled down in the cylinder while the inlet valve injects a fuel and air mixture into the cylinder.
•Second, the valve closes and the piston moves back up. This compresses the mixture to ready for ignition. After
compression, the spark plug ignites.
•The mini-explosion creates a hot gas that forces the piston back down which turns the crankshaft.
•Finally, the force on the crankshaft powers the continued turning, forcing the piston back up. The outlet valve then
opens releasing the exhaust from the cylinder.
The repetition of this process in each cylinder in rapid succession creates an enormous force that drives your vehicle
forward.

TYPES OF CAR ENGINES:
3 MOST COMMON
LAYOUTS
V: The V engines looks
like a ‘v’ with the
cylinders on a
60-degree angle.

Inline or Straight: The
cylinders are upright, side by
side which makes the engine
compact and effective.
Flat: Also known as a
‘boxer’ engine.

to mid-range cars have this under the hood.
THREE-CYLINDER
Three-cylinder engines are typically in a
straight layout due to the uneven cylinder
number and can be found on small cars.The
fuel economy is also very good on these
while remaining compact and affordable.
SIX AND EIGHT+ CYLINDERS

On the other side, the increase in cylinders to 6 are for more high-end
performance and sports cars. The layout is typically a V or straight engine.
Lastly, we have 8+ cylinder engines. With 8 or more, you’re probably looking
at a supercar with a V layout.
