← ScienceWhich consequence results when reciprocating engine valves fail?
A)Reduced volumetric efficiency arises.✓
B)Increased oil consumption occurs.
C)Elevated manifold pressure develops.
D)Detonation threshold is lowered
💡 Explanation
Reduced volumetric efficiency results because leakage prevents full cylinder filling via valve float. This causes less air per cycle via inadequate valve reseating, generating energy loss, rather than other mechanical wear failures like increased oil use.
