Which outcome results when exceeding the Leidenfrost point on engine cylinders?

💡 Explanation

When exceeding the Leidenfrost point, vaporisation creates an insulating gas layer thereby reducing convective heat transfer, because the liquid coolant then inefficiently absorbs heat. Therefore, the cooling capacity diminishes rather than the given failure modes, because those rely on direct contact.
