Hi Guys, (and Kathy)
Here are a couple of 'glamour shots' I'll process some of the 'innards'
pictures when I get back home. Thanks for the graphics help!
It appears we have a cooling problem (or several). I ran it up to 245
degrees today on the second flight of the day. OAT read 93. Oil temp went
to 217.
Red EIS light flashing and the adrenalin pumping, we landed without
incident.
After cool down it seems we lost about a pint of coolant blown out through
the overflow tank.

Cooling? 245 is not cooling. Water is way too hot. Oil is OK if it is a
synthetic.
Our last race temp was around that 93 degrees level.
Water temp was 175. Oil was 180. You will kill your engine doing that.
Add a fan. Add a dash of Water-Wetter. Add 5% Prestone to distilled water.
Add
more radiator area. Here is a picture of my cooling system. No overheating
since
1980.
