 |
|
About 2 weeks ago when the OAT was over 100°F I had an over temp alarm0on my EFIS for about 1 minute before the temps dropped back into normal range, the next flight was 21 days later for 1.2 hrs. & the engine seemed a little rough. I pulled the plugs for a check & the lower sparkplug on the # 2 cylinder was full of coolant,although no noticeable loss of coolant. Got to be a crack in the head right?

Definitely sounds like it!!! Make sure you check the hardness of the head when you remove them and the security of the valve seats,
Are you using the Evans coolant? Or 50% antifreeze mix,

I am using the Evans coolant and I think I'll pull off the gear box and send it to Lockwood as it has 350+hrs on it and KP recommends interim service for extended life.
