    Intake
    First stroke, starts with piston at TDC (Top Dead Center). This term refers to the location of both the piston and the crankshaft. TDC refers to the point where the piston is at the top of the bore and the crankshaft is at 0 degrees of rotation. Due to the geometry involved in connecting the pistons linear travel to the crankshafts circular motion, it is possible to have the piston at the top of the bore and the crankshaft located some degrees before or after 0 degrees of rotation.

    Compression
    when the crankshaft has reached 180 degrees after TDC, it is referred to as BDC or Bottom Dead Center. At this point the piston is at the bottom of the bore and is ready to begin its travel back up the bore to compress the air and fuel taken in on the intake stroke.

    POWER
    When the piston returns to the top of the bore again, the crankshaft is now at 360 degrees of rotation. At this point the mixture ithat is compressed is expanding rapidly because of the combustion event caused by the ignition system firing the spark plug. This expansion is where the negine produces its power and actually forces the piston back down the bore and applies rotational force to the crankshaft.

    EXHAUST

    The Final stroke begins when the piston returns to BDC and begins to push the expanded and burned up gases back up and out of the cylinder to clear it for the next incoming cycle. At this point the crankshaft is at 540 degrees of rotation and will complete the cycle at the top of the cylinder at 720 degrees of rotation.
