← TechnologyWhich risk increases when an engine crankshaft vibrates excessively at high RPM?
A)Harmonic resonance causing fatigue failure✓
B)Increased oil viscosity from shear thinning
C)Pre-ignition from cylinder compression boost
D)Valve float from cam follower bounce
💡 Explanation
When a crankshaft vibrates excessively at high RPM, harmonic resonance can occur because the crankshaft's natural frequencies align with the engine's firing frequency, leading to amplified stress and fatigue failure. Therefore harmonic resonance is the increased risk, rather than oil viscosity, pre-ignition, or valve float, which involve different mechanical causes.
