Which risk increases when connecting rod bearing clearance in an internal combustion engine decreases below specification?

💡 Explanation

Crankshaft seizure becomes more likely with decreased bearing clearance because insufficient space impairs oil flow, generating heat and causing direct metal-to-metal contact; this then causes seizure rather than excess emissions because of friction increases.
