1. Intake, Compression, Power, Exhaust. 2. Venturi Principle: Liquids and gases moving from a smaller to a larger area volume decrease in pressure. Used in carburetors and fuel injection systems to mix fuel and air in precise ratios. 3. Bored: Combustion cylinder has been increased in diameter due to polishing or "honing". Stroked: Length of piston rod has been adjusted to give a precise size to the combustion chamber for increased efficiency. 4. No idea. 5. Imperial (inches, feet, etc), Metric (millimetres, centimetres, etc), ? 6. The thickness of an oil. Viscosity 10W is the lowest commonly used in most American vehicles; some engines designed for high-RPM operation will use 5W oil. Variable viscosity oils (i.e. 10W-30) change their viscosity depending on temperature. 7. Assist in engine cooling (especially in air-cooled engines), lubricate moving parts, carry metal shavings away from operating parts, ?
