Hans Some comments on your cooling question. As an aside, I have an EJ 20 running in a GlaStar with two radiators immediately behind the prop hub. The...
Hi Pete, Thanks for your comments. I've got an 8 mm line running from the crossover tube (actually, from where the butterfly valve usually draws its water) to...
Al, Sounds like an interesting thing to measure indeed. For ground testing, I think I'll install at least that pressure sensor. The fluid level I can verify...
Hans, I use a mechanical pressure gauge and 1/8 inch copper tube. The advantage to this over an electrical sender is the ability to see that your coolant...
