Run Cycle

The standard run cycle is typically defined as a unit of time that encompasses a single rotation of an engine's crankshaft. This cycle begins at the top dead center position and completes when the piston reaches the bottom dead center position, marking the end of one complete revolution. Standard run cycles can be either four-stroke or two-stroke engines depending on their design, with each type having its own distinct characteristics that determine the engine's overall performance.
