Hope you get this resolved. I left a note on your tube page about my experience with cavitation caused an aftermarket coolant pump impeller clearance to the housing.
I see that you have a picture of what looks like the pump impeller.

I'm going to try EVANS waterless antifreeze. Has a boiling point of 260-280. Supposed to be strongly cavitation resistant. High boiling point means less expansion, no boilovers. 50.00 or so a gallon x 3.

I did a changing the coolant pump video when I installed the Bulletproof Diesel Waterpump. You could see a couple shiny areas in the pump housing that are probably from cavitation. Diesel engines are also subject to cavitation on cylinder walls. This engine I believe has issues with that cavitation and the resulting increases in pressure due to steam being created. That is what this condensor is an attempt to address. So far, it does actually seen to be making a difference. Far as I can tell, I'm the only person on YouTube, or otherwise going at the issue from the condensation angle. Turning steam vapor back into a liquid state. Steam is greatly expanded liquid, liquid is greatly condensed steam. Condensing the steam into liquid before being returned to the DeGas bottle seems to be helping.
