What are the four strokes in a Chevy v-8 engine called?

The four strokes in a Chevy V8 engine (and most internal combustion engines) are:

1. Intake: The piston moves down, drawing in a mixture of air and fuel.

2. Compression: The piston moves up, compressing the air-fuel mixture.

3. Power: The compressed air-fuel mixture is ignited by a spark plug, forcing the piston down.

4. Exhaust: The piston moves up, pushing the spent exhaust gases out of the cylinder.
