← TechnologyWhich risk increases substantially when reciprocating engine pistons overheat?
A)Increased likelihood of piston seizure✓
B)Reduction in lubricating oil pressure
C)Lean air-fuel mixture occurrence
D)Detonation during compression stroke
💡 Explanation
Piston seizure risk increases with overheating because thermal expansion reduces clearances, leading to friction welding via adhesion. The mechanism is thermal expansion coupled with excessive friction; therefore seizure is the outcome, rather than low oil pressure that occurs under different circumstances.
