This should probably be called “Four Strike Engine”. There are other types of ICE that work differently.

You mean stroke?

Four stroke.

And why not call it "Four cylinder four stroke ICE" or "Inline four cylinder four stroke ICE" or "Inline four cylinder dual overhead cam four stroke ICE"? Of course there are other forms of ICE, the description does not need to detail exactly which subtype is described.
