In our previous publication, we touched on the subject of-stroke diesel engines.http:www.free-engineering.comfwezine.htm . Today, we askwhy we choose to use -strokes? As you might remember, for a -stroke engine, the piston has tomove up, and then down to complete one cycle of the engine. Inthose strokes of the piston, the crankshaft will have turned revolution.
