Ports vs Valves in IC Engine

A Port is the best and simplest one to suck the air or air-fuel mixture into the cylinder and kick the exhaust out. Ports are used in two-stroke reciprocating petrol engines and also in rotary engines. Valves are mainly used in 4 strokes reciprocating diesel/petrol engines, etc. Valves need a cam and rocker arm mechanism for the opening and closing of valves. But in the case of ports, it does not need any other mechanism for the opening and closing of ports. It simply opens and closes by the piston (positioning).
