Which outcome occurs when journal bearing clearance increases excessively within internal combustion engine crankshaft assembly?

💡 Explanation

When bearing clearance increases, hydrodynamic lubrication fails because the oil film thickness reduces below a critical value, causing increased asperity contact and adhesive wear. Therefore oil film rupture and accelerated wear result, rather than fuel system, exhaust temperature, or turbocharger issues, which relate to different subsystems.
