Thanks for all the info guys. I'm very ignorant here, it's going to take a while of lurking to understand all the stuff you guys are so familiar with.
 
So clearly, Ed had some strong indications that he had a problem. You will soon know the direct cause of the problem, sounds like you guys know most of the details now.
 
I've found after years of problem solving, there is great value to seeking the other causes. When you look into other causes and you ask " What about the way we go about....contributed to this?" then your solution can be far reaching. Your solution can reduce the risk of other items. Perhaps as we learn more details, there will be interest in this approach.
 
BTW, I placed OAT sensor in my wheel pants. It works great for measuring oat AND warning me brakes are getting too hot. I did it because I read of plane that burned to ground from hot brakes. I didn't expect it to work, but the location I picked ended up being ideal.

There was a ton of warning signs of Ed's coolant sealing problems.  A biggie was pressure in the system after the engine cooled completely down (like next day) The picture on my website (it's a boy!) shows the clue.  There were other signs as well but it is human nature to hope that it was not the worst case possibility (Coolant O-ring problem).   But don't jump to conclusions yet, we still don't know what it was.
