← TechnologyWhich risk increases when connecting an engine's crankshaft to a mismatched flywheel?
A)Torsional vibration resonance occurs✓
B)Valve timing becomes increasingly erratic
C)Fuel consumption decreases drastically
D)Catalytic converter overheats rapidly
💡 Explanation
Torsional vibration resonance increases, because a mismatched flywheel alters the crankshaft's natural frequency, causing destructive oscillations exceeding material limits. Therefore, resonance becomes a severe risk, rather than simple imbalance which flywheel balancing normally addresses.
