← TechnologyWhich risk increases when elevated exhaust gas temperatures continuously impinge directly a spark-ignition engine piston crown?
A)Pre-ignition from hot spot formation✓
B)Detonation from increased compression
C)Oil consumption from bore distortion
D)Knocking from retarded spark timing
💡 Explanation
When exhaust gas temperature is excessively high impinging a piston crown, persistent localized heating occurs because of reduced heat transfer, promoting auto-ignition of the air-fuel mixture before the spark, hence: pre-ignition. Therefore hot spot formation results, rather than detonation, oil consumption, or knocking, each driven by dissimilar processes.
