Four Stroke engine Question answers

How does a four stroke engine work?

Stroke one the piston is travelling down from TDC to BDC and the Intake valve is open allowing the fuel and air mixture to enter the combustion chamber and the Exhaust valve is closed.
Stroke two the Intake valve closes and the piston travels to TDC compressing the fuel ready for combustion/ignition.
Stroke three the Intake and exhaust valves are both closed. The spark plug ignites the gasses and pushes the piston back down to BDC.
Stroke four the exhaust valve opens and the piston travels up to expell the burnt gasses.
Cycle starts again.
