Which risk increases when an engine's detonation frequency surpasses pre-ignition thresholds?

💡 Explanation

Increased detonation introduces excessive pressure spikes because the pressure increases faster than designed. Shockwaves cause piston ring land micro-fractures, the piston ring restraint weakens, therefore piston damage accelerates, rather than timing errors or unrelated exhaust or crankshaft malfunctions.
