Lee: Cavitation is a problem, mainly in large engines, but always those with wet sleeves. Coolant being against the sleeve deteriorated the sleeve from water jacket side, until they developed holes into the cylinders. These holes were only pin holes, thus a operator had a crankcase with substancial anti freeze before he noticed it. Water filters did not eliminate the problem, but did slow it down. One interesting item I've noticed is most tractors without filters went 6 to 8 years regardless of how many hours were on the clock. My tractor had a lot of hours for 8 years, but I've also seen 8 year old tractors with 2500 hours and cavitation did them in.
