← TechnologyIn a high-performance internal combustion engine, which risk substantially increases within the piston assembly during sustained detonation?
A)Thermal fatigue crack initiation✓
B)Increased oil viscosity breakdown
C)Reduced spark plug fouling
D)Elevated carbon monoxide production
💡 Explanation
Thermal fatigue increases with sustained detonation because the rapid, uncontrolled combustion cycles produce intense heat spikes. This initiates thermal fatigue cracking via repeated expansion/contraction rather than primarily affecting lubrication. Therefore, option A is correct; rather than B, C, or D.
