Which outcome results from prolonged operation of a turbocharged engine with inadequate intercooler airflow?

A)Increased exhaust valve temperatures

B)Reduced oil viscosity in the sump

C)Advanced ignition timing requirements

D)Cylinder detonation from higher intake temperatures✓

💡 Explanation

When intercooler airflow is inadequate, charge air heating increases because less heat is removed, dramatically increasing combustion chamber temperatures and pressure. Therefore, cylinder detonation results, rather than other effects, which depend on different lubricant or timing related failure mechanisms.
