← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when prolonged engine knocking creates excessive force against pistons?
A)Piston ring land fracture✓
B)Increased oil scavenging efficiency
C)Reduced thermal sleeve expansion
D)Optimized combustion chamber swirling
💡 Explanation
Piston ring land fracture occurs due to the intense pressure fluctuations from detonation, via the mechanism of fatigue failure. This weakens the structure because repetitive high-stress cycles degrade the aluminum; therefore, fracturing occurs rather than simple deformation, resulting in engine failure earlier than expected.
