Bob,

please remind me:

Are you running the EWP stand alone or together with a EDWP (engine driven)?

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.

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.
