It’s been a while since two-stroke engines went the way of the dinosaurs, with them being considered too inefficient, noisy, and emission-heavy for the 21st century. It is widely believed that the ...

The two-stroke gasoline engine was once a marvel of engineering, offering up huge doses of power in small and lightweight packages. Unfortunately, gas two-strokes also burn oil by design, making them ...

What if the engine of the future wasn’t just a dream, but a reality? Imagine a power source that combines the raw, exhilarating performance of a two-stroke engine with innovative efficiency, ...

The defining characteristic of a two-stroke engine is to fire (combust) every time the piston is at top dead center. This makes them highly power dense, but also notoriously makes two-stroke engines ...

Anyone who appreciates simplicity of design and efficiency of operation has to like small two-stroke-cycle engines that power construction tools such as cut-off saws, rammers and breakers. Producing ...

The Detroit Diesel Corporation originally launched in 1938 as a division of General Motors, and its main purpose was to build a two-stroke engine that would combine power and versatility in a small ...

Japanese automakers are renowned for their durable, reliable cars, and select engines are often described as bulletproof or unkillable. In many cases, straightforward engineering choices end up ...

It's been a long time since the automotive world has bothered with the mixing of oil and gas of the two-stroke combustion cycle — but soon, it may come time to rid ourselves of four-stroke engines, if ...

When I went to school for engine repair in the 1980s, we studied the differences between two- and four-stroke engine cycles extensively. If you're not familiar with engine strokes, understanding the ...
