 The 4s engine is nothing but it has two valves one is inlet and another is exhaust. the stroke will be done one by one like first suction,compression,power and exhaust, and for every four stroke there will be one power.this is four stroke engine

A completed operation of an engine that is Suctionstroke. compression stroke, expansion stroke and exhaust stroke is completed by the single rotaition of the crank shaft. Generally in a four stroke engine suction and compression takes at the first 180" degree of the rotation fo the crank shat and the expansion and exhasut stroke held at the remaining 180"degree of the crank rotaion. so by the complete rotation of 360"degree of a crank shaft all the four operation are completed, and hence it is called as four stroke engine

four stroke engine work on otto cycle.in this engine four process are done.1.suction2.compression3.power4.exhaust.at the time of 1st stroke fuel will enter in to cylinder.entered fuel compressed by the piston from bottom dead center to top dead center.at tdc spark plug ignited to make power stroke to movw piston from tdc to bdc.at the time of exhaust stroke waste air move out by moving piston from bdc to tdc.

4-stroke engine can be defined as a type of engine by which we get a power stroke in every two revolutions of the crank shaft.
while in 2-stroke, we get a power stroke in each revolutions of the crank shaft.

In case of four stroke engine their are four event
1. Suction
2. Compression
3. Power
4. Exhaust

This four event are completed in within four moment of piston and one power stroke is obtain two(2) Revolution of crank shaft, i.e=(720degree)  hence it is called  as Four stroke engine.

2. Four stroke engine has less pick-up but torque is high.
3. Four stroke engine are available at two form 1.  Petrol 2. Diesel 
4. In case of Four stroke petrol engine there are  2 valves are used for suction & exhaust.
5. But in case of Four stroke diesel engine there are port are used  for suction & exhaust.

Four stroke engine is an engine in which 1 cycle=4 rotations or strokes of crank.
The combustion process takes place in 4 stages/parts/strokes.
1st stage-Suction
2nd stage-compression
3rd stage-Combustion & expansion
4th stage-exhaust

4 stroke engines are more fuel efficient as compared to 2 stroke engines but the thermal efficiency of 2 stroke engine is greater than that of 4 stroke engines.

Both diesel & petrol engines are now-a-days available in 4 stroke type.
Power produced per cycle by a 4 stroke engine is lesser than that of 2 stroke engine.
