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.
