What are the causes of engine cylinder explosion?

Engine cylinder explosion causes: 1. Design defects. The main reason for engine cylinder explosion is actually related to vehicle quality issues, specifically design flaws that cause the engine temperature to exceed its maximum tolerable limit, resulting in cylinder explosion; 2. Oil quality and operation conditions. Besides design defects, engine cylinder explosion can also be caused by poor quality engine oil or inadequate oil circulation, leading to insufficient lubrication and serious heat dissipation problems; 3. Inaccurate adjustment of engine intake/exhaust systems and ignition timing. Incorrect timing adjustments in the engine's intake/exhaust systems and ignition timing can also cause engine cylinder explosion.
I've been driving for over a decade and have seen many cases of engine seizure, mostly due to cooling system issues. When the engine overheats, the pistons and cylinder walls expand from heat. Insufficient coolant can cause temperatures to spike to extremes, leading to metal deformation or even melting and cracking. Another common cause is inadequate lubrication - if the oil is too thick or insufficient, increased friction generates heat quickly, making seizure more likely. Then there are combustion problems, where poor gasoline quality or improper ignition causes knocking - that's when combustion is too violent and impacts the cylinder walls. Always check the radiator and oil level during maintenance - don't wait until something goes wrong. Otherwise, you'll not only spend thousands on repairs but also waste valuable time.
