Which mode results when piston-cylinder clearances improperly shrink?

💡 Explanation

Thermal lock and subsequent seizure occurs because differential thermal expansion significantly reduces critical operational clearances, generating extensive frictional heating. Therefore, seizure results rather than blow-by, and temperature rises are a consequence, not the primary issue.
