> Is there one pulley that has two revolvitions per vs. the others?

Yes, the cam pulley is twice the diameter of the crank pulley, the crank 
makes two complete rotations while the cam does one.

intake and compression is one crank cycle, 1/2 cam cycle
power and exhaust is one more crank cycle and the other 1/2 of the cam.

just remember it by this little poem I just wrote:

one rotation of the cam, plus two full turns from the crank,
is what makes a four cycle motor go bang bang, bang bang, bank.
