ON a 4-stroke cycle engine, it takes TWO revolutions of the crankshaft to complete a combustion cycle. So a cylinder is firing every 180 degrees of crankshaft rotation. Let's look at what happens on an engine with a 1-3-4-2 firing order.
When #1 cylinder moves from TDC to BDC on the intake stroke, the intake valve is open. As the piston passed BDC and moves into the compression stroke, the #1 intake valve closes. At the same time, #3 cylinder has the intake valve opening on its intake stroke. When #1 fires and begins its travel to BDC on the power stroke, #3 is moving up to TDC on compression stroke...and #4 intake valve is opening on intake stroke. As #1 exhaust valve opens and #1 cylinder moves from BDC to TDC on the exhaust stroke, #3 is on its way down to BDC on the power stroke...while #4 is on its way to TDC on the compression stroke...and #2 is on its way to BDC on the intake stroke.
So tell me...at what point do two adjacent cylinders BOTH have their intake valves open?
Not trying to be a smarta**..just trying to understand what you're saying, as it relates to a 4-stroke engine. [On a 2-stroke engine, the intake valves on #1 and #4 would be open at the same time, and the intake valves on #3 and #2 would be open at the same time. But 2-stroke 4-cylinders are extremely uncommon here in the US...so the assumption is that you were talking about a much more common 4-stroke engine.]

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
