Any other 'engine novices' out there?

From trying to learn about how to various bits on the bike, it's thrown up loads of questions about exactly how bike engines work, and the differences between 4 & 2 stroke engines. It's been explained to me a few times by technical people (usually in some technical language! lol) and I had a vague understanding.

Found these guides which have given me what alcoholics refer to, as a moment of clarity!

4 Stroke Bike Engine:

2 Stroke Engine:

The use of the moving diagrams/exploded pictures was really useful. They're not as complex as they seem....

Still wouldn't want to take one to bits and put it back together again mind!
