the piston to move from TDC to BDC.
Forth Stroke

the exhaust valve by scavenging. ▪ The Piston is again reciprocated back
from BDC to TDC.

Six stroke engine has many advantages like high thermal efficiency, low fuel
consumption, high break mean effective pressure, low emission. However
drawbacks like initial starting problem, availability of water are also associated. The
starting problem can be eliminated by using heater or glow plug and coupling a dc
motor as prime mover to the engine. Nowadays research and experiments are
going on to modify the engine further and to make it suitable for practical purpose
