Hi Mr. Tarver,

So then a diesel engine is like a turbojet?

In that the fuel immediately burnes when it is injected, yes. Of
course, the diesel is still a reciprocating engine while a turbojet is
operating continuously. Therefore diesels have much more in common with
spark ignition engines than with turbines.

Are the two stroke diesels the
same as the 4 stroke version in this?

Yes.

Interesting, I got to learn something in this thread.
