Which risk increases when a diesel engine's air intake is restricted during piston downstroke?

💡 Explanation

Restricted air intake causes higher vacuum on the piston's downstroke; because the resulting increased pressure differential diminishes oil film thickness, the piston ring scuffing increases due to boundary lubrication, therefore ring wear is accelerated, rather than pre-ignition that's irrelevant to vacuum.
