I'm not totaly clear on the causes myself. But I do know it affects several different engines in addition to the 310. Early ford diesel pickup is one that comes to mind. Prevention calls for changing coolent from time to time, using a good quality antifreeze rated for diesel use, distilled water and add a coolent conditionor at least once a year. Newer engines or cummins at least have coolent filters on them with a additve in the filter for this reason. I think there is a coolent test strip available to tell when it's time to change or which filter you need. The 310 is a wet sleeve engine and when electrolisis happens the coolent will eat out the block and sleeve at the bottom. eventualy coolent gets into the oil and you burn out the berrings and likly put a hole in the side. The block must be repaired to accept sleeves again. This happened to dads 1950-T and I bought a 1755 with which this happened and rebuilt it. I'm not awair of it being a problem on the 77 diesels. I have a 52' 77 diesel, good tractor. Good luck.
