Quick Answer: The Diesel Engine Model Four Stroke is a sectional model of a four-stroke, water-cooled diesel engine for studying the compression ignition cycle. A hand-cranked flywheel turns the engine, and overhead valves worked by a camshaft let students follow valve timing and piston stroke.

About This Product
The model is used in automotive and engineering classes to explain the diesel cycle. Turning the flywheel slowly, students relate each stroke to the valve openings and the point of fuel injection.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the Diesel Engine Model Four Stroke operated?
By a hand-cranked flywheel, which turns the engine slowly so each stroke and valve event can be followed, while lights simulate fuel injection and ignition.
