← TechnologyWhich risk increases when unbalanced reciprocating forces act on an engine crankshaft?
A)Bearing wear from increased stress✓
B)Pre-ignition due to cylinder overheating
C)Valve float from dampened motion
D)Fuel starvation from pump cavitation
💡 Explanation
When unbalanced reciprocating forces act on a crankshaft, increased vibration occurs because the forces are not canceling each other, which causes excessive stress on connecting bearings. Therefore premature bearing wearresults, rather than pre-ignition, valve float or fuel starvation, which require different mechanisms.
