Differences of the timing of the air inlet and exhaust valves differ between naturally aspirated and pressure charged four stroke engines. These differences depend to some extent on the speed of the engine and also on the degree of supercharging.

What is overlap period?
The overlap period is when both the exhaust and air inlet valves are opened together. It is sometimes referred to as the scavenge period in pressure charged four stroke engines.
Overlap period in naturally aspirated and supercharged engine:
In the naturally aspirated engine, the overlap is 36°; in the pressure charged engine, it is 120°
