Which risk increases significantly when bypassing a diesel engine's intercooler?

A)Increased cylinder head thermal stress
B)Catalytic converter platinum degradation rate
C)Fuel injector solenoid overheating failure
D)Premature exhaust valve spring fatigue

💡 Explanation

Increased cylinder head thermal stress results because higher inlet air temperatures cause greater peak combustion temperatures; therefore cylinder heads undergo more rapid thermal cycling, rather than issues localized to the other components under cooler, design-centered conditions.
