Which consequence arises when an oil pump's pressure relief valve sticks closed in aircraft piston engine?

A)Bearing failure from excessive oil pressure
B)Cylinder head cracking from insufficient cooling
C)Fuel injector blockage from contaminated oil
D)Propeller overspeed from reduced drag

💡 Explanation

When the oil pump's pressure relief valve sticks closed, excessive oil pressure builds because of blocked bypass, leading to component over-stressing and potential catastrophic failure. Therefore leading to damage to engine bearings specifically, instead of other issues related to cooling, fuel, or aerodynamics.
