Which risk increases when an internal combustion engine experiences excessive thermal loading on its pistons?

A)Piston ring blow-by and oil consumption
B)Crankshaft bearing fatigue and failure
C)Valve float and reduced volumetric efficiency
D)Fuel injector fouling and misfire

💡 Explanation

When pistons experience excessive thermal loading, heat causes differential expansion which reduces piston-to-cylinder clearance, promoting piston ring blow-by because it impairs the ring's ability to conform; this leads to increases in oil consumption. Therefore, ring blow-by is most likely,. Crankshaft fatigue, valve float and injector fouling require altered conditions.
