Cavitation

0

The mixing of air with a fluid. When air is allowed to enter the oil pump of a motorcycle engine it can cause a situation where the oil is displaced and unable to flow properly through the pump. A solution is often to bleed the air out of the lubrication system. Cavitation can also be a problem with personal watercraft when air mixes with the water in the pump drive system.
