... With my STi 2.5 XT Eggenfellner on RV8 I don't have much space on the firewall for an expansion tank. The only space that is available is not at the...
I'd consider rectangular expansion tank, or any other option that allows you to use it with air near top. If you have the two cups of air, then pressure never...
I'm glad I did the overheating thing. I learned a lot that was little known before hand. I won't do it again, and certainly don't recommend it. If there is one...
I haven't tried it yet,But Advance Auto sells a coolant antifreeze called Ice water that runs it says 28 degrees cooler.Has any one out there tried it? Ken...
Hi guys, I'm in the hangar now and I thought I'd give you a quick update on my overheated engine. First, I checked the oil by taking out the dipstick. Nice and...

I don't follow diesel developments very closely except for Theilert because it is flying but I have read some development stuff from BMW tech and Toyota a few...
The compression sounds about right as you are below SL and I think NSI was using well over 10 to 1 CR. If the tester does not leak, it's not a good sign that...
Glad to hear the good news so far. Please don't allow these positive results influence you too much. Remember, WOT with engine under load is much more severe...
Excellent thoughts. When I drain coolant and do mods, I first pressure test to establish that there are no leaks prior to running. Then I run the engine up to ...
For what it's worth Al, I DID do a full hour of engine running on the ground after I had installed the cabin heater, and found nothing out of the ordinary. ...
Mickey, I had a major leak yesterday. Bets are that the level in my puke pot never increased, so such an indication would have meant nothing to me.... Hans...
Active bleeds meaning small 2-3mm ID lines coming from problem or trap areas in the cooling system run to your high mounted header tank. This way, any trapped...
I really like this list. I am building a DDT EA81 Dragonfly and I get a good deal of vital info from you guys. If I could make one suggestion for the list....
Impressed with your thoroughness. I always learn from such descriptions, or it reinforces something. Thanks for sharing the details. -al wick Artificial...
DYNAMIC AIR BLEED: Active bleed lines, or dynamic bleed lines, are just small diam hose that goes from the highest point in the engine block ......to the...
I'm sorry Hans. Please excuse my assumption. I know it's tough hearing some dumbass saying "don't do this, don't do that" after the fact. I'm still puzzled by...
Thanks Al, for the description. Funny thing is that I have my swirl pot at the highest point of my system. The crossover is the highest point on the engine,...
Actually, I too do that runway checking, Al (and used it on two occasions last year). Plus I know where I will be putting the aircraft down after I have...
So you must have been flying on only 10 to 20% of your radiator capacity. That makes sense. No wonder you didn't see any other symptoms. Perhaps you can flip...
Hans , Delighted to hear you have no damage done .There used to be a little air bleed fitted to the high point of the Citroen C X engines which took care of...
I tell you, Hans, it's almost as good as having CCTV in your hangar having you describe your trials and tribulations-almsot in real time. All of the problems...

... I wouldn't be so quick to discount corn as a good place to land. I've read a lot of stories of people landing in corn to walk away, with very minimal...
Hans brought up a good point about Nomex. I always fly in a USAF Nomex flight suit. For initial flights and limit testing, also had the helmet , Nomex gloves...
I have a first hand on the corn landings (landings?) Thru a prop blade several years ago on takeoff. No place to go but down into the corn. Thought it was over...
I dont think Hans means corn as understood in the U S .Cornfields in Northern Europe usually mean wheat or barley fields. One of our club members here went...
