Which consequence arises when an oil pump's pressure relief valve sticks closed in aircraft piston engine?

💡 Explanation

When the oil pump's pressure relief valve sticks closed, excessive oil pressure builds because of blocked bypass, leading to component over-stressing and potential catastrophic failure. Therefore leading to damage to engine bearings specifically, instead of other issues related to cooling, fuel, or aerodynamics.
