OK BOSS

WHAT MADE THE "TDC/ 4-STROKE THING" FINALLY CLICK INTO PLACE IN YOUR HEAD?

WHEN I WAS ABOUT 10, THE OLDER NEIGHBOR CAR FELLER (MAYBE 18) REALLY TOOK THE TIME TO EXPLAIN IT ON THE ENGINE HE WAS BUILDING. WHAT FINALLY MADE IT CLICK FOR ME, IS WHEN I REALIZED THE CAM WAS TURNING 1/2 THE SPEED OF THE CRANK, DUE TO IT HAVING TWICE THE AMOUNT OF TEETH ON THE TIMING GEARS. THUS LETTING THE CRANK TURN OVER TWICE FOR EACH ROTATION OF THE CAM. THUS THE CAM WOULD OPEN AND CLOSE ALL OF THE VALVE IN ONE REVOLUTION. THE PISTONS WOULD TRAVEL 4 STROKES, EACH STROKE HAVING A DIFFERENT TASK

WOW! I STILL GET EXCITED ABOUT IT!

YOU CAN BET YOUR PAYCHECK THAT EACH AND EVERY PERSON I HAVE EVER EXPLAINED IT TO KNEW THE WHOLE PROCESS OF A 4-STROKE, BEFORE I STOPPED 'SPLAININ" IT (AT LEAST AT THAT VERY TIME)
