2 unusual facts about Four-stroking


Four-stroking

If the timing is retarded for low throttle positions, from perhaps 35° BTDC at normal speeds to TDC or even 10° after TDC at slow idle, the engine runs well without four-stroking.

Some large engines, such as those from EMD, use a turbocharger with an auxiliary mechanical drive to give better scavenging from low rpm, avoiding this risk.
