    Subject: Cylinder head coolant leak?
    I'm working on a 912ULS from a windstorm-damaged plane that I'm pulling out to put in a homebuilt. The engine sat on the airplane for about a year after the airframe was totaled. All logs OK, looks very well cared for. But, #2 cylinder had about 1/4 cup of coolant in it. Good thing no one tried to start the engine, it was hydro locked by that. The spark plugs had some rust on the electrodes. I haven't pulled the head off yet but assume the valves will be in trouble too. The other cyls look OK. Is this a commonly seen problem? I have to guess there is some corrosion or a crack between the coolant passage and the valve. There's no coolant in the oil. Suggestions? David Josephson

Second, make sure that there isn't something blocking the fuel intake. Thanks Bill. I've been away from the hangar (and email) for a few days but I will check it this week.

    Bob thank you. I will check it this week. Hopefully I don't need a new pump.... > On Jun 22, 2014, at 19:52, "Bob Harrison" <ptag.dev@talktalk.net> wrote: > > Have you checked the thimble filter in the Pierburg electrical pump?
