Sounds like a wise precaution. One of the little problems many
people like those building the Thunder Mustang and the Lancair
Vixen with the Orenda Engine need to address. Liquid cooled
engines and composite structures are a new combination we
will surely see more of in the future. Perhaps the use of high
temp epoxy is called for in those areas that might be effected.

Thanks.
