  2. Two-stroke oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-stroke_oil

    The oil is dyed blue to make it easier to recognize in the gasoline. It appears black in this bottle because it is not diluted. Two-stroke oil (also referred to as two-cycle oil, 2-cycle oil, 2T oil, or 2-stroke oil) is a special type of motor oil intended for use in crankcase compression two-stroke engines, typical of small gasoline-powered ...

  3. Automatic lubrication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_lubrication

    Amount of two-stroke oil injected by the pump depends on the throttle position. A cable from the throttle is connected to the oil pump indicating throttle's position. A tube ensures flow of oil from the reservoir to the oil pump. This system is commonly used for motorcycles as it eliminates the need of pre-mixing fuel and two-stroke oil.

  4. Two-stroke engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-stroke_engine

    Two-stroke engines often have a higher power-to-weight ratio than a four-stroke engine, since their power stroke occurs twice as often. Two-stroke engines can also have fewer moving parts, and thus be cheaper to manufacture and weigh less. In countries and regions with stringent emissions regulation, two-stroke engines have been phased out in ...

  5. Internal combustion engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_combustion_engine

    Lubrication is accomplished by adding two-stroke oil to the fuel in small ratios. Petroil refers to the mix of gasoline with the aforesaid oil. This kind of 2-stroke engine has a lower efficiency than comparable 4-strokes engines and releases more polluting exhaust gases for the following conditions:

  6. Dry sump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_sump

    A dry-sump system is a method to manage the lubricating motor oil in four-stroke and large two-stroke piston driven internal combustion engines. The dry-sump system uses two or more oil pumps and a separate oil reservoir, as opposed to a conventional wet-sump system, which uses only the main sump (U.S.: oil pan) below the engine and a single pump.

  7. Total-loss oiling system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total-loss_oiling_system

    Silkolene 2-stroke oil was directly injected into the inlet tracts and onto the main roller bearings. The oil that entered the combustion chamber lubricated the rotor tips and was then total-loss, but the oil that fed the bearings became a mist within the rotor-cooling air, and around 30% [ 2 ] of that oil was recovered and returned to the ...

  8. Mean effective pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_effective_pressure

    Since naturally aspirated four-stroke engines must perform pumping work to suck the charge into the cylinder, and to remove the exhaust from the cylinder, IMEP may be split into the high-pressure, gross mean effective pressure (GMEP, ) and the pumping mean effective pressure (PMEP, ). In naturally aspirated engines, PMEP is negative, and in ...

  9. Stroke ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroke_ratio

    An engine is described as oversquare or short-stroke if its cylinders have a greater bore diameter than its stroke length, giving a bore/stroke ratio greater than 1:1. An oversquare engine allows for more and larger valves in the head of the cylinder, higher possible rpm by lowering maximum piston speed, and lower crank stress due to the lower ...
