A blown head gasket could cause the coolant to leak into one of the
cylinders to be burned with the fuel. Is your exhaust pipe putting out a lot
of white smoke?
A water pump leak can occur when the seal wears out and usually only drips
when the engine is running. You'll find anti-freeze stains around the area
of the leek.

Hi folks,
I see maximum oil temps of 230F. Normally they are around 200 F, depending
somewhat on the type of oil I use. CHT is around 115 F. Coolant is 200 F
during climb out and 145 F during cruise. This is a 912 with the water rad
inside the cowling.

When the water level is up where you can observe it, remove the radiator
cap. Start and run the engine. Accelerate it. If you see bubbles in the
coolant, you have a head gasket failure.

the water is more than likely leaking from the intake gasket, on that model
it can leak into the valley of the engine or to the outside, have replaced
several.

Head Gasket. You are burning the water. You should be seeing white smoke
out the tailpipe.
Good luck.

A couple of suggestions on your cooling issue.
1. The common point of failure is the water pump. The bearing seals fail
first. There is no indication with the engine is not running. When the
engine is running you will see a stream of water coming from the bottom of
the water pump housing boss The boss is the part of the housing that sticks
out from the main body. It contains the bearings and seals.
2. Another potential source of the problem is a leak in the head gasket.
A
number of years ago I had a 68 Ford Mustang with a 200 ci inline 6. It was
notorious for blowing head gaskets. The only time it would leak was when I
was pushing the engine hard or engine speed of over 3,000 rpm. When I
exceeded its limit, the exhaust would blow into the water jacket. The
water would then superheat and blow out the overflow. I got real good at
replacing head gaskets. A standard compression check never should a
problem.
Hope you find the problem.
Good Luck.

--> Zenith-List message posted by: "Trampas" <tstern@nc.rr.com>
In the morning when engine is cold crank up the engine, open hood and feel
upper radiator hose. If it has pressure then head gasket blown.
Other possible cause is a bad radiator cap. If the radiator cap does not
hole pressure than the water will eventually boil away. The easiest way to
check the cap is with a tester, but often it is easier just to get a new
cap. Another way to test the cap is once the car is at operating
temperatures open the hood and feel the top radiator hose, if it does not
have pressure on it, then cap is most likely bad. Also usually with a bad
cap at operating temperature the overflow bottle will be bubbling as the
water is being boiled away.

Hi List sorry for the off topic question but IO don;t know where else to

I have a 95 Lumina mini van that is losing 100% of it's water about ever 2
weeks. The problem is I can't find a leak in anything anywhere! When the
car
sits either hot or cold no water accumulates under the vehicle....not even
drops! When the engine is hot I can not see anything coming from either the
top
or bottom radiator hose, so I can't find any holes in hoses which appear to
be
in good repair. The radiator cap fit's snugly and I can't find a leak in
the
recovery bottle. The only thing I don't know how to check is the water
pump.
But what I don't understand is where is all of the water going in a "sealed
system" if I can't find it leaking out anywhere. This is making me crazy!
Any suggestions on where to look would be helpful.

Hello, Alex,
Have you considered the Grand Rapids "Horizon EFIS" instead of all the
instruments? That could be especially good since you list GRT's EIS for engine
data. The GRT EFIS has all the gyro stuff you list and more for about the same
money as the non-TSO instruments, and probably better reliability than TSO,
with no troublesome vacuum pump or ice-prone venturi.
Does anyone on the list know whether a DAR will certify a plane with the
GRT EFIS for nighttime & IFR flight? As I understand it, the only requirement
is to have sufficient instrumentation and avionics to control the plane and to
make safe use of the system, and that no single-point failure can disable the
ability to do so. With needle/ball/airspeed, hand-held GPS/EFIS, and hand-held
navcom as back-ups, that should meet the minimum requirements for occasional
IFR in a primarily VFR plane. (I just don't want to be completely grounded for
days by a persistent fog bank somewhere.)

Checkout the alternative to traditional instruments at
www.DynnonAvionics.com Their EFIS-D10 is an economical ($2,000) answer
to the glass cockpit. I just installed one in my 701 to replace some of
the made in china (falcon) instruments that were unreliable and a less
than adequate warranty. So far I am Pleased with the performance.

Quick question for the list. Is a Rotating Beacon required for
night flight if your aircraft is already equiped with dual wing tip
strobes?

--> Zenith-List message posted by: "Frank Jones" <fjones@sympatico.ca>
Those are good numbers. I'm going to try and seal off the coolant rad a
bit more too. I'm losing air in the gap between the cowl and the rad. I
learned from Zenith that the 601XL cowling has been changed to place the
oil cooler under the coolant rad. They've added a large new scoop that
feeds this in the bottom center of the cowl.

Hi folks,
I see maximum oil temps of 230F. Normally they are around 200 F,
depending somewhat on the type of oil I use. CHT is around 115 F.
Coolant is 200 F during climb out and 145 F during cruise. This is a 912
with the water rad inside the cowling.

Gulf Avionics did mention to me that
most Non TSO'd instruments are built in China and therefor the quality
is not that great (example Falcon instruments).

this case. From what I can tell the Falcon instruments are of good

So far I plan for (Altimeter, VSI, ASI, Turn Coordinator,

Vertical Card Compass, IC COM and an Grand Rapids EIS). Any input
regarding on the TSO vs Non TSO would be appreciated.

Power the instrument, wire the sensor (don't forget to provide a ground
from the sensor back to the instrument), and hang the sensor in a
can/pot of boiling water. I did this to verify my temperature related
instruments and it worked great. Look for 212 deg F, or 100 deg C.
This helped to build my confidence in what the instruments were telling
me. I thought mine were high too; they weren't.

I have received and unpacked the pegastol wings for my 701. The parts
are spectacular and everything is ready to cleco with pilot holes
throughout. The strut assemblies are also streamlined and very nice. I
have only unpacked the kit and put the parts on the shelf as I am
currently finishing my right wing on a 601 XL. They also have included
an example of some of the more elaborate components so you can build the
rest from the model. The slat jig itself if a sub kit that is ready for
jigging up the leading edge slats and It appears to be a real time saver
as well as a precision jig. 4 fuel tanks were also part of my kit. Just
looking at the finish of the parts makes me think the entire wing
assembly will take less than 1/2 the time that my 601XL wings will take.

If you have a crack in the block or head, a compression check may not show
the problem. You can buy a kit at NAPA to check for carbon monoxide in the
coolant. A service station or mechanic should have an instrument to put on
in place of the radiator cap that will indicate carbon monoxide in the
cooling system. These tests will tell you if combustion gases are escaping
into the cooling system.

Not only is the ACS catalogue a great wish book, it's a great source of
information about things that creep into the new builder's file of
concerns.
In the catalogue you can find quite a bit about lighting requirements on
the page in the "EL" section that introduces the lighting equipment ACS
carries.
The Bingelis books are another source.

--> Zenith-List message posted by: Tim & Diane Shankland <tshank@megsinet.net>
Alejandro,
While I don't have my plane in the air yet I have been researching the
instrument issue and have bought some of my instruments. I can tell you
that going to Oshkosh is the quickest way to make comparisons, I have
spend several days in the last two years going from vendor to vendor
asking questions and looking over equipment. For some background I have
decided to go full electric IFR instrumentation. First there are others
sources of non 'TSOed instruments other than Falcon, UMA instruments are
made in Dayton Ohio, I have an airspeed indicator and a vertical speed
indicator from them. I do have a turn coordinator and altimeter from
Falcon, I haven't heard anything bad about them. I was looking at the
Falcon electric attitude indicator and checked with several vendors,
none of them had any at Oshkosh and they were uniform in there concern
about reliability. I remembered the Dynon attitude indicator and went
back for another look. I talked to the designer and looked over the
spec.'s, I was impressed, I though about it that night and came back the
next day with a sheet of questions. They were all answered to my
satisfaction. I see from one of the others responders that they have had
good results with this unit, which I find encouraging. Mind you this
unit gives you attitude, altitude, airspeed corrected for altitude,
magnetic compass, turn bank, and outputs that can be used for mode C
transponder and attitude information that can be used for an autopilot.
All for the price of an electric TSO'd attitude indicator. Lastly
vertical card compass, I looked around a lot on these, beware there is a
lot of junk out there. One vendor had a take full of boxes only labeled
as made in China. They looked fine expect that when you changed
direction, they didn't even with considerable shaking. I also when to
the Falcon distributor and tried their vertical card compass, I turn
east it still shows north. The final result was that I spend the extra
money for the TSO'ed version of this instrument. It actually show the
direction I facing.
Regarding flying on IFR days, get you IFR rating it's a great excuse to
fly a lot while working on it, and then you don't have to wait for
tomorrow when the ceiling is low today

"Start from the middle in future and the excess will be pushed to the
edges
and disaappear."
With all due respect to a great list contributor, Frank, may I pass on
another perspective.
When riveting my perfectly squared-up stabilizer, I too started from
the middle and worked outwards thinking I'd stretch the skin out like a
carpet layer. When I had finished I was horrified to find HUGE
parallel bows in both spar rivet lines. To make a long story short, I
removed all the rivets and pulled them all again, but this time in a
very random fashion and the stabilizer took its proper shape.
John, you may want to try this next time.

Alex,
I know you mention vacuum gauges but my wife and I did the math for an all
electric panel and the electronic options come out looking pretty
economical, not to mention more reliable (assumed), much lighter, and easier
to install, when compared to an all electric gyro panel.
If you were to consider the all electric options you might want to look at
the MicroEncoder(~$1300), MicroMonitor (~$1200), SkyDat (~$650), Dynon
(~$2000), and/or Grand Rapids Horizon-1 (~$6000). Using either the
MicroEncoder, Dynon, or Horizon-1 you won't need an altitude encoder so you
can save about $180 straight off. We have chapter members with the Dynon and
it is reported as very good, even if a little bit limited on screen size.
Since you have the Grand Rapid EIS listed you might want to seriously
consider the Horizon-1 since you will get graphical engine monitoring when
connected to the EIS, plus moving map when connected to a GPS head.
With either the Dynon or Horizon-1 you won't need the card compass since
they both have magnetic heading information. Both of these have alternate
electrical inputs so only an internal failure will leave you without a
compass but a handheld GPS will give you that information as well. You might
also want to give thought to adding the VSI, Alt, and Airspeed options to
the EIS since it works out a touch cheaper than conventional gauges.
There are other options but these are the ones I know about and have
investigated at least a little bit. It has been a while since I looked into
all of this so I may have some of the functionality mixed up. I know that
the MicroEncoder and SkyDat don't cover the AI & DG but I think that they
cover the Alt, VSI, and airspeed. The MicroMonitor could be an alternative
for the EIS.
Here is my line-up:
EIS-6000 w/Airspeed, Alt, VSI, Carb temp, Amps, Fuel Pressure, Fuel Flow
($1800)
Horizon-1 (Manufacturing slot #49 ~$6000)
MicroAir 760 Comm ($650)
Garmin 320A xpndr ($1150)
Ameri-King ELT ($150)
Antennas, connectors, cables, air pipe and fittings, etc ~$100
I have everything except the Horizon-1 which isn't shipping yet. I might add
a cheap Electric TC, but then again I may not.
Tailwinds, ...neil
