How firing loads are transmitted to bed plate

Firing load acting upward( tension) cylinder cover→cover stud→cylinder beam→tie rod→bed plate transverse grider.
Gas pressure acting on piston(compressive)→piston rod→connecting rod→crankshaft→lower half of main bearing→bed plate cross grider.
 So the total forces are balanced and small difference in magnitude are shown as stresses in engine structure

Why atomisation test should not be done in slide type fuel valves

Since very small needle lift is obtained in the test equipment result in an unequal pressure distribution in the cut off shaft resulting in a hard contact in a small area along with high frequency oscillations, low lubricity of test oil will increase the chance of seizure. Full lift and high lubricity of heavy oil eliminates this risk  of seizure during normal operation.( Always open and clean slide type valves before testing as cold sticky heavy oil along with small clearances can cause restriction in the movement of the spindle).
