I just took apart a T50TLRC that had very bad water in the oil; runny mayonnaise. What I found when I pulled the head was horrible. The internal corrosion looked like the engine had run in salt water. The problem is the cylinder walls are so thin at the head interface that a head gasket has no chance of sealing.
The owner assures me he bought the rig new and it has only seen fresh water.
What would cause such significant internal corrosion in fresh water? Could a neglected overheat cause this?
Thanks,
