Deere 410C cylinder liner cavitation.

[ster1]

The cavitation will only show up on the thrust side of the piston as it is powered down in the power stroke. I am surprised no one mentioned that as the general consensus here is pretty good. Never heard about the pressure in the cooling system helping to prevent cavitation though....I know pressure in a hydraulic system doesn't seem to help cavitation in pumps.

I think I mentioned earlier the holes were on the injection pump side. I think I was wrong about that. I finally got my cyl 1 sleeve out, and paid attention to what side the holes were on, and it was the cam side! I also noticed that the casting is much closer to the sleeve on the cam side than anywhere else.
