A perforated wet
sleeve cylinder liner means one thing-costly
repairs. When a diesel engine is running, the
wet sleeve liners vibrate, creating vapor
bubbles that implode into - and eventually
through - a liner's surface. This process is
called cavitation and results in the escape of
coolant into your engine's crankcase. And when
antifreeze mixes with oil . . . it's all over!
When your coolant
allows some of its inhibitors to drop out and
gel, you are getting what is commonly referred
to as "green goo." Low-quality, high
silicate coolants are susceptible to this type
of problem, which can lead to blocked radiator
and heater cores, clogged filters and obstructed
hoses. In addition, a coolant that is high in
silicates can reduce the durability of water
pumps and lead to expensive repairs.
We have all seen
what rust can do to external metal surfaces.
That is exactly what happens when the water in
your antifreeze attacks the vital engine metals
in your cooling system. Using an antifreeze
without the proper inhibitors will lead to your
engine being eaten away by the "corrosion
cannibal."
A coating of
white particles can cover your cooling system
like a thick wool blanket, suffocating your
engine and trapping in the heat. But where do
these particles come from? Tap water contains
microscopic solids. These solids can react with
the formulations of inferior antifreezes to form
the white coating symptomatic of hard water
scale.
