Hey Bruce I have another stupid question. When I dismantled my engine I
found one water passage completely blocked by a greenish white creamy
substance. Is this the same stuff or something else? There was no evidence
of water in any part of the oiling system. I'm sure it wasn't doing the
cooling routine any good. It seembed to be concentrated at a rotor
housing/end housing seam. But I saw no signs of O-ring failure and no signs
of water in the combustion chamber. Just wondering if you had any input on
this particular brand of "funk"
  Thanks, James Phillips

Sounds like coolant eating microorganisms.  Usually caused by too much air
entrained in the system.  The bugs/plants live on the cell boundary of an
air bubble and coolant which contains carbon based food.  The accumulation
looks like snot.

You are a little behind the power curve Jeff. Problem at work on
one of those nifty high altitude Predator UAV's?
