Which risk increases when an internal combustion engine piston encounters thermal runaway during fuel injection?

💡 Explanation

When a piston experiences thermal runaway due to excessive fuel injection, rapid expansion occurs because the heat overwhelms the cooling capacity, causing the piston to swell and rub against the cylinder wall. Therefore cylinder wall scoring results, rather than lubricant breakdown, valve float, or fuel detonation, which require alternative conditions.
