← TechnologyWhich risk significantly increases when piston ring conformability deteriorates within a high-performance diesel engine?
A)Elevated unburned hydrocarbon emissions✓
B)Reduced compressive strength of liner
C)Increased valve train frictional losses
D)Decreased lubricating oil viscosity
💡 Explanation
Increased blow-by occurs because reduced piston ring conformability decreases perfect gas sealing between the piston and cylinder wall; therefore, unburned hydrocarbons slip into the crankcase and exhaust, rather than being completely combusted, increasing emissions.
