Why aren’t the engines in your typical production car 2 stroke?
In: 4
Two stroke engines are light and simple, but weak and inefficient. The overlapping intake and exhaust stroke makes both processes ineffective, and they don’t get the full power out of the fuel in a dedicated power stroke.
Four stroke engines are much more complicated and physically larger, but easily beat a two stroke in any application where the sheer size isn’t a problem.
