← TechnologyWhich risk increases when a gasoline direct injection engine accumulates carbon deposits on piston crowns?
A)Increased pre-ignition during compression✓
B)Reduced volumetric efficiency at high RPM
C)Decreased oil viscosity due to dilution
D)Elevated NOx emissions from lean burn
💡 Explanation
When carbon deposits form on piston crowns, hot spots develop because carbon insulates the piston material, retaining heat and increasing the risk of uncontrolled pre-ignition of the air-fuel mixture during compression; therefore increased pre-ignition risk results, rather than efficiency loss, oil dilution or higher NOx emissions, which stem from different causes.
