So it's expansion and contraction, and pH. I can see e&c on a liner, especially a wet sleeve. As a matter of fact, the new MF tractors in the '65 hp area has a Finnish (like from Finland as I recall) built diesel that is advertised to have a mid cylinder support for the sleeve to reduce just that.
PH explains the functioning of the JD fluid and the different colored pellets found in one of the filters could have been deliberately placed there to be contained by the filtration media and as the water passes over them they modify the pH......all the filter media is for is to hold onto the pellets????????
