ON a 4-stroke cycle engine, it takes TWO revolutions of the crankshaft to complete a combustion cycle. So a cylinder is firing every 180 degrees of crankshaft rotation. Let's look at what happens on an engine with a 1-3-4-2 firing order.
When #1 cylinder moves from TDC to BDC on the intake stroke, the intake valve is open. As the piston passed BDC and moves into the compression stroke, the #1 intake valve closes. At the same time, #3 cylinder has the intake valve opening on its intake stroke. When #1 fires and begins its travel to BDC on the power stroke, #3 is moving up to TDC on compression stroke...and #4 intake valve is opening on intake stroke. As #1 exhaust valve opens and #1 cylinder moves from BDC to TDC on the exhaust stroke, #3 is on its way down to BDC on the power stroke...while #4 is on its way to TDC on the compression stroke...and #2 is on its way to BDC on the intake stroke.
So tell me...at what point do two adjacent cylinders BOTH have their intake valves open?
Not trying to be a smarta**..just trying to understand what you're saying, as it relates to a 4-stroke engine. [On a 2-stroke engine, the intake valves on #1 and #4 would be open at the same time, and the intake valves on #3 and #2 would be open at the same time. But 2-stroke 4-cylinders are extremely uncommon here in the US...so the assumption is that you were talking about a much more common 4-stroke engine.]

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership,
