Which risk increases when extreme cylinder head temperatures soften aluminum pistons in an engine running lean?

💡 Explanation

When extreme cylinder head temperatures soften the aluminum pistons, ring land collapse occurs because the aluminum loses strength and deforms under pressure, allowing combustion gases to leak past the rings. Therefore, increased blow-by results,rather than injector failure, bearing wear, or valve float which result from different thermal failure modes.
