Mosur's water pump belt failure.  


     Yes,  Jim Mosur and Ron Gowan both lost cooling.  I am not familiar with 
the details of Ron's coolant lost, but he is on the list and may respond. 
  Best I recall about Jim's is that it took him about 10 minutes to get to an 
airfield and then had to make a go-a-round due to an aircraft taking off. 
  Successfully made the go-a-round and landed with a cooked engine.  Told me 
that the next day when he pour coolant into the engine, that it leaked like a 
sieve.  It had cooked every rubber seal in the engine and then some.  It did 
require a rebuild, but I understand he was able to use most of the major 
parts.
