Ian,

Sorry to hear about your mishap. You walked away uninjured I hope.

Paul,
Do you have any pictures of Ian's cooling setup? Maybe we can learn something here. Sorry any potential  lessons came at a cost.

Brian Trubee

I do but not of the specific area he is talking about.

IMHO the overall lesson is the details can hurt you. No matter how reliable 
the basic engine is if the accessories are unreliable it does not matter 
what kind of engine you use.

With a liquid cooled aircraft engine it pays to use the highest quality 
plumbing you can buy.
