Which risk increases when cylinder oil's viscosity weakens inside a two-stroke marine diesel engine regarding piston function?

💡 Explanation

Increased cylinder liner scuffing occurs because weakened viscosity reduces hydrodynamic lubrication between the piston rings and liner, promoting adhesive wear. Therefore, scuffing risk accelerates rather than thermal efficiency reduction from blow-by due to degraded sealing.
