← TechnologyWhich risk increases when an engine piston's oil control ring fails to effectively scrape oil from cylinder walls?
A)Detonation due to increased compression
B)Pre-ignition caused by oil deposits✓
C)Bearing failure from oil starvation
D)Coolant boiling from liner hotspots
💡 Explanation
When the oil control ring fails, excess oil enters the combustion chamber because the lubrication system no longer effectively manage film thickness, leading to carbon deposits on the spark plug and piston crown, causing pre-ignition. Therefore pre-ignition risk increases rather than detonation, bearing failure or coolant boiling which require unrelated system faults.
