How does No-Rosion prevent wet sleeve cylinder liner cavitation erosion?
A. The area where the coolant comes into contact with the metal wet sleeve cylinder liners is extremely hot. Localized boiling occurs, regardless of coolant type. As the coolant nears the boiling phase, tiny vacuoles are formed in the coolant solution. The vibration of the cylinder liners from the running of the engine causes these vacuoles to implode. The countless implosions of vacuoles cause the metal surfaces of the liners to slowly erode. No-Rosion contains an ingredient called nitrite, which forms a thin oxide film that protects the metal surfaces of wet sleeve cylinder liners when the vacuoles implode, thus preventing erosion. Q. What type of water is best to use as coolant? A. Many people have heard that distilled water is best to use in a cooling system. This is wrong, unless a mix of 50/50 antifreeze is used. While it certainly is true that distilled waters purity prevents electrolysis and scale/deposit formation, it unfortunately comes with a potentially very damaging side e
