Which outcome results when exceeding thermal design limits of an IC engine?

💡 Explanation

Pre-ignition occurs because localized hot spots initiate premature combustion, enabling autoignition. This process disrupts the normal timed combustion leading to engine knock; therefore pre-ignition occurs rather than the optimal power cycle because exceeding coolant temperatures overwhelms dissipation.
