Which design change reduces crevice hydrocarbon emissions?

  • A.Increasing the piston clearance, which allows the mixture to escape and to burn within the main chamber
  • B.Nothing
  • C.Reducing the top land height so the crevice volume is smaller and less mixture escapes the flame front
  • D.Moving the top ring closer to the crown

Answer: D

Raising the top ring shrinks the crevice volume directly. The last option explains exactly that mechanism, which makes it a correct and more instructive version. It also raises ring temperature, which limits how far it can go. A symptom that appears under one condition and not another is what narrows the diagnosis quickly. Naming the cost of a choice alongside its benefit is what turns a fact into a design decision. Checking which component actually carries the load settles most questions of this kind at once.
