The four strokes of a reciprocating engine are intake, compression, power, and exhaust. Each stroke corresponds to 180 degrees of crankshaft rotation, so a full cycle from ignition to ignition requires two full revolutions of the crankshaft, or 720 degrees of rotation. During the intake stroke, the piston moves down to draw in the fuel-air mixture, and the compression stroke follows, squeezing the mixture. Then ignition occurs, and the power stroke uses the expanding gases to push the piston down. Finally,
