Which outcome occurs when excessive cylinder pressure induces plastic deformation in an engine piston during high-performance operation?

💡 Explanation

When excessive cylinder pressure causes plastic deformation, the piston crown warps because the material yields beyond its elastic limit under extreme stress, leading to incomplete sealing and pressure loss. Therefore reduced compression ratio directly results, rather than increased oil consumption, high emissions or detonation, which originate from different engine flaws.
