← TechnologyWhich issue arises in an internal combustion engine when excessive cylinder pressure causes deformation of the crankshaft throws?
A)Harmonic imbalance and vibration✓
B)Increased valve train resonance
C)Catalytic converter overheating
D)Premature fuel injector failure
💡 Explanation
Harmonic imbalance and vibration occur because crankshaft throw deformation changes the mass distribution, leading to imbalances that excite resonant frequencies. Therefore, the engine vibrates severely, rather than a localized issue like injector/valve failure or external parts overheating unrelated to crankshaft balance.
