Which risk increases when small cracks initiate at crankshaft fillets in high-performance engines?

💡 Explanation

Progressive torsional fatigue failure increases because stress concentrates at the crack tip, accelerating crack propagation due to cyclic loading. This crack propagation reduces the crankshaft's torsional strength therefore promoting fatigue failure rather than affecting valve timing or bearing lubrication.
