← TechnologyWhich risk increases when an internal combustion engine operates with excessive crankshaft torsional vibration?
A)Catalytic converter overheating
B)Crankshaft fatigue failure✓
C)Fuel injector nozzle clogging
D)Piston ring blow-by
💡 Explanation
When torsional vibration exceeds design limits, resonant frequencies in the crankshaft are excited, causing increased stress concentrations because of cyclic twisting, leading to metal fatigue. Therefore crankshaft fatigue failure results, rather than overheating, clogging, or blow-by, which stem from different operational issues.
