Hi all, have a quick Q.

 I was Setting prop pitch today on my newly  Overhauled 582 ( I`ve never run one before) & got the RPMs set at 6350, EGT  & CHT are running right where I want them, but the water temp guage was  about to reach 200 degrees.( EIS)  Keep in mind this was a static run,  & outside temps were about 83 degrees.  Should I expect temps to be  within limits once airborne on a similar day because of much increased airflow  through the standard radiators? Or should I be concerned about the static  temps?   

 Thanks,   Jim

Jim,



You should expect temp to come down once airborne.

Jim, Since I just did an annual on a Cosmos trike that didn't, you do have the head vented properly, don't you?

I Think so, its set up just like the blow-up pic in  the airwolf cataloge, & just the way it was when I got it, 200 Plus hours on  a MK-3.

The vent on my 582 runs from the mag side vent to a tee in the vent line between the upper tanks of the radiators. It's a small thing to miss. The trike I annualed had been used in three WSC Repairman Inspector classes and no one had written it up as a defect. The trike is a 1997 or 98 vintage and there is no evidence that the head vent was ever put in. Rotax says the vent is a must do for the engine to cool properly. Go figure.

Hi Jim,      Rotax also  recommends to run a water hose over the radiator during static run ups on hot  days, if needed to control temps. Be carefull not to spray too much water  through the prop and to secure the hose well.

Makes perfect sense, I just wondered if the high  temps that I saw during static run-up were typical, sounds like they are.   Thanks,   Jim

There is a vent on the forward side of the engine  top,, just forward of the front 2 spark plugs,  & a vent plug just  forward of the 2 rear spark plugs. Rotax sez to use the higher of the  2  vents . This hose routes to a T that return to both sides of the radiator.  I assume thats the vent you`re reffering to?   Jim

Make sure you have all the air bubbles out of the cooling system also sometimes you have to run it without the Pressure  Cap on for a while to remove any air bubbles in the system   and do this on the ground  even though I dont think you would try this in the air

The cooling system I had on my J-6 was very effective and had a good sized  reservoir, and I ran it unpressurized. Never had any trouble, but it did always  have a cap on it. Need to keep the coolant in even if you don't keep the  pressure in.
