RPM question?
Imagine a single cylinder 4 stroke engine.
is the indicated rpm the rate of crank revolutions or the rate of completed power strokes?
With 2 strokes its obviously the rate of crank revolutions. I would guess its the same for 4 strokes but i wasn't sure?

Think the clue is in the name, Revolution per minute Cheers Ray
To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy

It is - but it could be referring to Cam RPM, which is half the crank RPM.
However, it's not. So the point is moot. I'll get me coat...
