← TechnologyWhich risk increases when improperly torqued connecting rod bolts cause excessive play in a high-performance engine’s crankshaft main bearings?
A)Crankshaft torsional resonance amplification✓
B)Reduced manifold absolute pressure (MAP)
C)Detonation via pre-ignition event
D)Decreased oil viscosity index (VI)
💡 Explanation
Excessive crankshaft play can lead to higher amplitude torsional vibrations; this is because reduced constraint allows increased shaft deflection. Therefore, torsional resonance increase is the risk, rather than oil viscosity variation, which is related to increased temperatures.
