Which stroke sequence correctly reflects the operation of a four-stroke internal combustion engine?

The engine is operated by repeating a four-stroke cycle. So you:
1) Inlet or suction.
The piston is in the top position and the crankshaft rotates 180 °. The piston moves downward and sucks in the combustible mixture.
2) Compression or compression.
The piston moves up, the working mixture is compressed.
The crankshaft turns another half turn up to 360 °.
3) Expansion or working stroke. When the maximum compression is reached, the mixture is ignited and burned. Under pressure, the piston goes down and the crankshaft makes another half turn. Thermal energy is converted into mechanical energy and useful work is done.
4) Release. The piston moves upward and expels the exhaust gas.
