This occurs when the shockwaves transmit through the cylinder walls and form tiny bubbles in the coolant and then collapse. Cavitation occurs in many processes where power is applied. Cavitation is a major erosion problem on commercial boats that see a lot of hour of service. The area of low pressure on the propeller will erode away requiring replacement. This will also, be seen in high speed mixers and pumps in manufacturing equipment. But it is mechanical, not chemical. The "sour" condition (acidity)is most likely caused by outside conditions. KRM
