Abstract: The present paper discusses the results obtained by experimental investigations of the diffusion-controlled flame near the valves due to fuel film deposition in a single cylinder, ported fuel injection (PFI), four-stroke spark-ignition (SI) engine with a four-valve production head. The engine was equipped with a transparent combustion chamber with a wide quartz window in the bottom.
