The document discusses valve timing diagrams for 4-stroke and 2-stroke petrol and diesel engines. It provides details on the opening and closing of intake, exhaust, and transfer ports during each stroke. For 4-stroke engines, it describes the intake, compression, power, and exhaust strokes. The actual valve timings are given for 4-stroke diesel and petrol engines. For 2-stroke engines, it explains the expansion and compression strokes and provides the actual valve timings. Diagrams are included to illustrate the valve timing events during each stage of the engine cycles.
