Which failure accelerates when an engine's 'piston slap' increases?

💡 Explanation

Increased piston slap leads to more connecting rod bearing wear, because the increased clearances cause larger impact forces during each combustion cycle. With increased forces resulting during the **fluid-film lubrication** mechanism, the bearing experiences wear more rapidly therefore, rather than the alternatives occurring, leading to earlier engine failure.
