← TechnologyWhich risk substantially increases when reciprocating engine pistons experience excessive side loading?
A)Increased 'piston slap' noise✓
B)Accelerated catalyst deactivation
C)Greater turbocharger compressor surge
D)Elevated fuel injector backpressure
💡 Explanation
Increased side loading causes ovalization because localized force concentrates wear due to adhesive wear. Therefore, this increases noise ('piston slap'), rather than catalyst issues, turbo failures, or increased injector pressures, which reflect other engine malfunctions.
