Which risk increases when engine piston-to-cylinder clearance exceeds design tolerance?

💡 Explanation

When piston clearance is excessive, increased oil film thickness allows oil to bypass the piston rings more effectively because pressure differential overwhelms oil ring scraping action, leading to increased oil consumption. Therefore oil consumption increases, rather than detonation, valve float, or converter failure which require combustion instabilities or valve timing issues.
