🔍 Key Concepts

• Look at the intake, compression, power, and exhaust strokes shown or implied in the illustration and decide if this is a four-stroke or two-stroke diesel engine. • Think about how often each valve must open in relation to a full engine cycle and how this relates to camshaft speed vs. crankshaft speed. • Notice the timing gear train that connects the crankshaft to the camshaft and how gear tooth ratios affect rotational speed.

💭 Think About

• For one complete engine cycle (all four strokes), how many crankshaft revolutions occur, and how many times must a given cam lobe operate a valve? • If a small gear on the crankshaft drives a larger gear on the camshaft (or vice versa), which shaft will turn faster, and what does a 2:1 gear ratio do to speed? • Would changing only the diameter of the lower timing gear change the required relationship between valve timing and piston position, or must that relationship stay fixed? Why?.

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm from the illustration whether the engine is two-stroke or four-stroke, since that determines the camshaft–crankshaft speed relationship. • Verify that the valves must open once per engine cycle, not once per crankshaft revolution in a four-stroke engine. • Ensure the timing gear arrangement maintains a fixed speed ratio between camshaft and crankshaft, not a speed that varies with gear size alone.
