▶️Introduction
Four stroke (4 stroke) diesel engines have been used for over 100 years and their design has not changed significantly during this time. A four stroke engine consists of:
1. Piston
2. Connecting Rod (Con Rod)
3. Pushrod
4. Plain Bearings
5. Inlet Valves
6. Exhaust Valves
7. Springs
8. Camshaft
9. Crankshaft
10. Combustion Space (Cylinder Liner)
The four stroke engine requires four strokes to complete one combustion cycle. The strokes are:
1. Suction
2. Compression
3. Power (Ignition)
4. Exhaust
The suction stroke draws air into the cylinder liner (combustion space) as the piston moves down towards bottom dead centre (BDC). When the piston reaches BDC, the inlet valves close and the piston travels back upwards towards top dead centre (TDC).
As the piston moves towards TDC, the air in the cylinder is compressed and its temperature and pressure increases. Shortly before TDC, diesel fuel (or petrol/gasoline) is injected into the combustion space. The fuel ignites and a controlled explosion occurs.
Petrol/gasoline engines use spark plugs for ignition, whilst diesel engines use only the heat generated due to compression. For this reason, petrol engines are known as spark ignition engines and diesel engines are known as compression ignition engines.
Once ignition occurs, the power stroke begins. The increase in pressure and temperature crated by fuel combustion pushes the piston towards BDC. Once at BDC, all the fuel within the combustion space has been burnt and the final engine stroke is ready to begin.
The exhaust stroke is the fourth and final stroke. The piston rises from BDC to TDC and expels exhaust gas from the combustion space via the exhaust valves. Once the piston reaches TDC, the air inlet valves open and the exhaust valves close a short time later (there is some valve overlap to ensure all exhaust gas has been removed from the combustion space).
The combustion cycle is now complete as all four strokes have occurred.
This type of engine utilises direct fuel injection; common rail fuel injectors are also used.

Very good presentation

[@mesopotamia-iq]

Very informative.. Thanks a lot for sharing this video..

[@GeoffEwe]

One of the things I have difficult time is putting manuals into pictures and this video is very good at bringing the concepts together. I am restoring a WWII jeep and most forums I have found don't explain the concepts of how the L134 motor actually works. In this video you show the details exactly how I needed to see them. Thanks a million for taking time to do this video.

[@khairulalam5508]

The best video on 4 stroke IC engine on KZbin!

[@Coading26110]

Very nice video thank you so much keep doing

[@jacobreinen5392]

Absolutely phenomenal! MASTERFUL lesson for visual learners!! Thank you! I’m excited to find your channel!

[@savree-3d]

Welcome aboard!

[@gofres]

Great clear and slowly explained. Will be using in my lessons, thank you!

[@GeoffEwe]

This video fill in some knowledge gaps from other videos I saw in trying to understand my WWII jeep's L-134 motor. Thanks so much for making the video, very informative!

[@tahayasingencer487]

Efficient to learn and visualizing gives more enthusiasm to me for those things. Complicated and dens explanation and full of mediocare information books driving me a crazy after a while. Thank you saVRee! You the best

[@randallmiller8238]

Excellent indepth video

[@akaunderdog4223]

Clear voice, easy to undertand, superb animations!, overall this short clip is among the best oyt there

[@pere-ebirufus233]

Thank you Mr. SaVRee for your interesting and very educating videos. I have really learnt a lot from your videos here. My understanding relating to marine engine and machineries have broaden, and my doubts have been cleared. Please, also do a video on HFO/LO purifiers. I really need your animation showing the working principle of purifiers.. THANK you once again.

[@agep13]

I come to this video after watching your video about 2 stroke engine. That 2 stroke engine video is the best explanation about 2 stroke engine and I need explanation from one person about 4 stroke engine, and today you uploaded this video, what a coincidence. I am very enjoy with your style of explanation.

[@agep13]

@@savree-3d A question, 6:00 if explosion makes piston moves downward, what make piston moves upward?

[@florebouriez3588]

this was so beautifully explained. thank you so much!

[@chrisreynolds3700]

I really enjoyed your video, because I like learning. Your video is excellent at explaining things and I'll be watching many more. I like learning about engineering especially vehicles, in my spare time. I'd recommend your videos!! Keep making more. Thanks!!!

Great explanation and very good animation. Would you mind to let me know what animation program that you use it on this video? Thanks

[@ammarsyaf3035]

how about magnet brake? I would greatly appreciate if you could do one.

[@ni9378]

perfect

[@usmanghani1963]

Great

[@jbrockba1]

Great video. Thank you. What force allows the piston to travel back down in the suction stroke and up in the compression and exhaust strokes? Is enough energy provided in the power stroke to allow for the other 3 strokes to occur or are other forces at play? Thanks.

[@jbrockba1]

Sorry. I just read one of your other replies. You already answered the question. Thanks.

[@HyperionBadger]

I mean, it's details like that which need to be specified in a how an engine video works video as long as this one. Every video on KZbin provides simplistic explanations like the one in this video.

[@hikeoganessian9729]

it wasn't clear as to what force caused the initial downstroke.. if it was air, what made the air fill the cylinder initially and give it enough pressure to push the piston down.....thx for any help...

[@anasluqman3042]

thanks

[@savree-3d]

No problem

How heat to use for ignition ? Specifically to get good combustion

Can you do a video about purifier

I am Madol Mabor from South Sudan, I would like to learn more about Toyota Land cruisers and it systems... Thank you

[@NAVEENKUMARYTUBE]

How cranck shaft pushes the piston from BDC to TDC .. What isthe source force for cranck shaft to give movement to piston

[@gtrjazz1]

rotational inertia caused by the crank shaft counter weights and Flywheel, and the other two cylinders firing 180 deg from BDC

[@andherium]

How is it guaranteed that the crank shaft doesn't revert back and make a rotation ? Is it just because of the momentum ?

[@johnymodise8965]

Thanks for the explanation But what about glow plugs Doesn’t a diesel engine use glow plugs?

[@xl000]

won't there be any wear on the head of the push rod as it's constantly rubbing against the cam ?

[@CBRRR-eh3ky]

So.how.many top dead center do we have in this xycle

[@johnkelway6723]

Thank you so much, this is exactly what I wish I had learned at school instead of learning when Henry VIII died …

[@shocker..8469]

lmao, as if we remember that mate

[@mohdhafis8085]

What force to make a stroke down for suction process? If to my understanding that one bang only make piston stroke down once. Sorry for my English.

[@mohdhafis8085]

@@savree-3d I got it. I can't supposedly think 4 strokes engine only have one cylinder. :)

[@sharminmalik]

I am having same doubt. Can you please answer again??

[@HyperionBadger]

Again, another video that exclusively explains the 4 stroke system. Some of us are at the point where we gotta learn how everything comes together.

[@antoniosilveira3660]

Would I be wrong if I say intake stroke , compression stroke, power stroke, and exhaust stroke, what u call exhaust gas, couldn’t it be called , burnt air fuel mixture witch become exhausted out once the piston pushes them out on the exhaust stroke?

[@dhrubakumarsharma9855]

Sasura ka nati galat galat padata hai

[@learning4348]

The certificates are they recognised by any college?

[@savree-3d]

Unfortunately not. The main reason is that there is no international body that recognises certificates in so many countries. We are working to get them recognised though as continuous learning credits, which are issued from London, and internationally accepted.

[@mohamedmoemen5098]

In ships we will use two stroke engines not four stroke right.

[@stevenolsen6360]

wrong- the fuel is injected, at "timing"as per engine requirement. it is srayed into the the compressed air near TDC-per timimg

[@raibyo]

If my teachers explained as clearly as this, I wouldn't have failed the exam.

[@NAVEENKUMARYTUBE]

Please reply

[@NAVEENKUMARYTUBE]

Sry above I mentioned a question and I got reply answer from you thank you.

[@MarkEJTV]

QCU? Anyone haha

[@LegateMalpais]

The crankshaft counterweight is 180⁰ opposed to where it should be.
