Study Notes
Engine Performance Optimization
- Overlap of the timing of starting air valves is necessary in a 4-cylinder engine to ensure efficient engine performance and smooth operation.
- The purpose of providing overlap is to allow for a continuous flow of air and fuel mixture into the cylinders, promoting efficient engine operation.
- The overlap solves the problem of inefficient engine operation, which can occur when air valves open and close at the same time, causing a break in the flow of air and fuel mixture.
