← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when piston rings fail in maintaining optimized cylinder pressure?
A)Increased blow-by into crankcase✓
B)Decrease combustion chamber pre-ignition
C)Improved valve train lubrication
D)Higher exhaust manifold pressures
💡 Explanation
Increased blow-by occurs because failed piston rings cannot maintain a tight seal. The mechanism of action is pressure leakage. This leads to gases entering the crankcase, therefore increasing blow-by, rather than maintaining the ideal combustion process.
