What I know about is older Cummins diesels.The old motors had high flow water pumps,this would surge so much water through the system it would cause tiny bubbles in the antifreeze.When these tiny bubbles hit the sleeves,they would explode.The old Cummins sleeves were not all that smooth,they were made of cast material that was kind of vulnerable to that happening.Todays Cummins sleeves look like chrome.I saw some that had 900,000 miles on them a few weeks ago and had no ring groove at all.The old sleeves could be ate up by 300,000 miles.They slowed the flow down by putting washers in the head gasket water holes to cut the flow down and that helped.Just putting a water filter on the old motors helped a lot.Now they have the strips that tell you when the water filter needs to be changed. You dont want to run straight water in any motor because it builds a thin film af rust on the inside of the block.This doesnt let heat transfer as it should and can cause hot spots.That could happen in a liner and cause problems.Antifreeze has rust inhibiter in it and it gets weak.Also the lube is for the water pump bearing.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
