← TechnologyWhich consequence results when lubricant supply fails concurrently with high engine load on an internal combustion engine?
A)Crankshaft bearing surface thermal seizure✓
B)Reduced fuel injector atomization
C)Increased exhaust valve seat erosion
D)Elevated cylinder head gasket permeation
💡 Explanation
Bearing seizure occurs because lubrication failure during high-load operation increases friction; frictional heat generation causes the crankshaft bearing material to exceed its melting point. This leads to thermal seizure, therefore option A, rather than injector problems or valve/gasket issues.
