← TechnologyWhich risk increases when an internal combustion engine runs with inadequately balanced crankshaft?
A)Excessive bearing wear from vibration✓
B)Pre-ignition due to cylinder overpressure
C)Fuel injector clogging from deposit formation
D)Reduced valve float from lower RPM
💡 Explanation
When an unbalanced crankshaft rotates, increased vibration occurs due to uneven mass distribution, generating cyclic loading on the main bearings, thereby accelerating wear. Therefore excessive bearing wear is the increased risk, rather than pre-ignition, injector clogging, or reduced valve float, which stem from different engine problems.
