Bob,
While I do have a purge tank, I wouldn't mind having an EWP just to use for purging the air from the cooling system.  We will be expecting a status report on the EWP when the time comes.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the reminder.  I do have one advantage.  Currently I'm
plumbed with the EWP.  I can run the cooling system without starting
the engine and the pump is at the bottom of the system.  I run the
pump, stop and add water 5 or 6 times before the system is filled.

Since I live in a relatively warm climate, I'm expecting this to be the
definitive test on EWP performance in an Airplane.

Bob,
You probably know this, but be sure to bleed the air out of the block before running the engine for the first time.  That usually means removing the thermostat so the air can escape through the bypass circuit.  It would be a shame to overheat a new engine due to low coolant.  It has happened more than once, and almost happened to me.  

Good luck,
Mark S.

Any of you who have read my signature would know that I was trying to
get my engine started by today at the latest.  It didn't happen.  I
have a long list of excuses, but I won't bore you with them. :)

I am still plodding along on the wiring.  Once that's done, all that's
left is to tighten up some hoses, add fluids, do some system checks, and
give it a try.

From the land of mañana,
