Hi Ed,

With 20/20 hindsight, would it be safe to say that the incident
depicted in the photo was enough reason to not fly again until the
engine had been checked?

Think how much help you would have had at Charlies!  Although you
wouldn't have had Laura back home to send new parts.

Photo taken at Charlie's fly in.  That was pretty good evidence of a coolant leak between combustion chamber and coolant galleys and supported by the fact that I had notice my coolant pressure increasing on the flight to Charlies by approx 11/2 psi per hour of flight. It started at a normal 10 psi and had increased to18 psi by the end of the flight.
