Which risk increases substantially when reciprocating engine pistons overheat?

💡 Explanation

Piston seizure risk increases with overheating because thermal expansion reduces clearances, leading to friction welding via adhesion. The mechanism is thermal expansion coupled with excessive friction; therefore seizure is the outcome, rather than low oil pressure that occurs under different circumstances.
