Which outcome accelerates when a heat engine's exhaust restriction increases?

💡 Explanation

Engine overheating and piston damage occurs because increased exhaust restriction reduces heat dissipation, driving up cylinder temperatures. Consequently, thermal stress intensifies, leading to accelerated fatigue failure, rather than improved efficiency, lesser vibrations, or enhanced lubrication.
