Which outcome results from exceeding engine temperature design limits?

A)Premature component fatigue cracking occurs
B)Increased efficiency during shorter cycling
C)Decreased formation of soot emissions
D)Enhanced fuel economy at altitude

💡 Explanation

Exceeding design temperatures increases thermal stress, therefore premature fatigue cracking occurs due to increased cyclic loading's **ratcheting** mechanism during heat cycles, because increased plastic deformation is promoted rather than elastic deformation only.
