I have two temp sensors and two pressure Gage's one set read by Dynon, one read by RWS (Tracy Crook's system). Yes, it blew past the over flow and boiled over. My radiator is larger at 1254 cubic inches. Stock Mazda oil cooker with secondary oil cooler
for cabin heat mounted in the nose. Oil accounts for about 30% of cooling on the rotary.

Are you sure that your temp gauge is accurate?
Do you have an h2o pressure gauge
If so what was your pressure at that temp
If no pressure gauge. Why not?
Did you loose your coolant? Or fill the overflow reservoir if you have one?

I want to but I am having some serious cooling issues on high speed taxi, up to over 250 degrees for a few minutes (yikes). I tried something with modified NACA's based on Velocity Inc reducing cooling issues when they changed
from armpit scoops to top NACA's, however, that is not working so I am going to a more direct ram air with a P-51 scoop. I hope to start the conversion later today. The process may have intimidated me years ago, but, hey, the Gov'ment
says I be a "Repairman" ;-)

Are you ready to take advantage of that transition training? When is the first flight? :>)
