Which risk increases when connecting an engine's crankshaft to a mismatched flywheel?

A)Torsional vibration resonance occurs
B)Valve timing becomes increasingly erratic
C)Fuel consumption decreases drastically
D)Catalytic converter overheats rapidly

💡 Explanation

Torsional vibration resonance increases, because a mismatched flywheel alters the crankshaft's natural frequency, causing destructive oscillations exceeding material limits. Therefore, resonance becomes a severe risk, rather than simple imbalance which flywheel balancing normally addresses.
