why there is starting air over lap in engines?

1. To ensure that @ no angular position of crankshaft with insufficient air turning moment to give a positive start( as one cylinder be closing, other will be opening)

2. To start engine even though few cylinder starting air valves are defective
3. Positive starting in correct direction.
Overlap period is generally 15 degree

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).
