I suspect the radiator is cracked somewhere. Anyone have any
experience with this sort of thing? Can this do damage to the engine
block? The radiator is custom and will not be cheap to replace, and it
will take a while, and the plane is an 8 hour drive away... :-(
Sorry to hear
about the trouble Dave. I haven't heard any stories of rotaries
freezing, so I don't know what usually breaks, but I do know they have some
freeze plugs just like piston engines do. I'd have to bet that
it will blow one of those before it will break the block. Unfortunately,
some of those are pretty darn
inaccessible. While you're looking for leaks, take a close look at
the oil for signs of coolant. Nothing good could come from that, for
sure.
Maybe you'll
get lucky (relatively speaking) and find a split hose or something easy
(relatively speaking) to fix. Good luck with it.
Rusty (and
speaking of relatives...)
