← TechnologyWhich 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.
