SPARK IGNITION ENGINE OPERATION<br />

• <strong>Compression</strong> Stroke:<br />

After the piston passes BDC, it starts<br />

moving up. Both valves are closed. The<br />

upward moving piston compresses the airfuel<br />

mixture into a smaller space, between<br />

the top of the piston and the cylinder head.<br />

This space is combustion chamber. The<br />

mixture is compressed 1/8 or less of its<br />

original volume. The amount that the<br />

mixture is compressed is compression<br />

ratio.
