Which risk increases when reciprocating piston engines experience prolonged 'oil starvation'?

A)Detonation due to pre-ignition occurs
B)Crankshaft fatigue failure accelerates rapidly
C)Liner scuffing and seizure develops
D)Valve float and head damage begins

💡 Explanation

Liner scuffing and seizure accelerates because the absence of lubrication causes adhesive wear between the piston rings and cylinder liner. This is adhesive wear, therefore the contacting surfaces cold weld, rather than reducing friction as designed.
