What would be a potential outcome of using non-conforming aftermarket service parts?

Using non-conforming aftermarket service parts can lead to engine failure due to various factors associated with the quality and compatibility of these parts. Non-conforming parts may not meet the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications, which can result in improper fit, or diminished functionality. When parts do not work effectively with the existing systems in the engine, they may lead to mechanical failures, reduced reliability, and ultimately catastrophic engine problems.

Additionally, non-conforming parts might lack adequate testing and assurance of quality, which is essential for maintaining the performance and safety of the engine. This can result in issues such as increased wear and tear, overheating, or inadequate sealing, all of which can contribute to potential engine failure. Overall, while some may hope for improved performance or other benefits from aftermarket parts, the realities of using non-conforming components can severely compromise engine integrity and functionality.
