Hi Bobby,
The oil temp got up to about 156 F and the water 182 F. I ran it again
Wednesday and got the water up to 200 F. It seemed to stabilize at that
level while running up to 2500-3000 rpm or so. Oil temps were a
little lower. Water temp is coming out of the block and oil after the
oil cooler. I will have an hour on the engine next time I run it, and
will then do some sustained tests up to 4500.
The little silver thing on the side near the front is a fuel cooler. I
think so far it functions as a fuel heater by absorbing heat from the
exhaust system. I have thermocouples on the input and output, and both
always read the same value. Shielding and ducting still needs to be
built. Another set of measurements I want to make is the cooling temp
into the block and the oil temp out.

Subject: [FlyRotary] Engine Start Video's
I posted two video's on the web. The first one is about 8 Mbytes and
the second 45 Mbytes. The small one should take 5-10 minutes to
download on dial-up. There must be some way to compress video more than
this, but I can just barely get the simple editing done.
Engine Start, 8 Mbytes (14 seconds)
