Hi Guys,
I have few questions here. I'm pretty sure that others in the industry have encountered the water pump cavitation problems during the engine testing and development.
My question is, with the cavitation occuuring, does it actually lower the heat transfer to the head and block that it will cause overheating problem? Is there any clear limit on how much cavitation is tolerable?
Appreciate inputs from others in the industry.
