Re: [FlyRotary] water boiling
point
My same thought, the higher pressure the better chance of
leaks, for the last 1400 hrs I have been running a 7 lb cap with no
problem, I normally run about 180 for water temp but do see 220 on a
hard climb out on a hot day and when at high altitude its usually so
cold outside that cooling is not an issue.

Thanks for your reply Tracy!
I did a google search on water boiling point. Coolant should be
higher,
but it seems that water boils at 183 degrees at 16,000 feet. But
that
is with no added pressure. I could not find the corrected number
for the 12 psi cap.
I wonder how many blown rotor housing seals are due to higher coolant
pressure ?
