← TechnologyWhich risk increases when elevated temperatures cause piston ring sticking in a diesel engine?
A)Increased blow-by, reducing cylinder pressure✓
B)Fuel dilution of engine lubricating oil
C)Turbocharger overspeeding due to exhaust restriction
D)Crankshaft fatigue from torsional vibration
💡 Explanation
When high temperatures cause piston ring sticking, there is reduced sealing because carbon deposits prevent the rings from fully expanding against the cylinder wall, leading to increased blow-by and reduced compression. Therefore, increased blow-by results, rather than fuel dillution, turbocharger issues, or crankshaft failure which stem from different mechanisms of thermal or mechanical stress.
