Technology

Which risk increases when variable valve timing (VVT) adjustment aggressively alters piston-cylinder compression ratios?

A)Premature catalytic converter failure
B)Increased exhaust back-pressure pulses
C)Detonation induced piston damage
D)Elevated oil consumption rates

💡 Explanation

Detonation risk increases; the rapid advancement of valve timing concentrates the air-fuel mixture causing spontaneous ignition due to compression ignition, or detonation. The uncontrolled combustion leads to increased cylinder pressures and potential structural damage. Therefore, detonation-induced piston damage will occur rather than other exhaust anomalies.
