He could also be barkin' at pitting of the cylinder walls caused by electrolysis and/or cavitation erosion where popping bubbles in the coolant blast holes in the cylinder wall over a long time, abetted by corrosive coolant. Certain IH engines are prone to it, I had it happen to my wet-sleeve Deere, and I saw it happen to an '88 Ford with a 7.3 IDI. IH has released coolant conditioner packages to prevent this, and I now run an additive in my Deere to prevent a recurrence. It can happen to parent bore blocks as well as wet-sleeve engines. In a sleeved engine, this requires an inframe provided you catch it before it damages the crank, in a parent bore you are talking block or possible boring and sleeving, either way you have to pull the engine.
