Jos,
the warmest congratulations!
I agree too: I am totally satisfied
for the combination of the water
thermostat and the water-oil exchanger.
Ambient temp is around 20-25C and
I see typically water 90C and oil 100C.
No matter the power and how long
- it can be what so ever between 0-100%
and temps are always between limits easily.
I think also it is better to fly w/o Evans.
I hardly can wait next winter and the
future cold flying season: what will be
water and oil temp when air is -40C?
Probably more ok now than flying
WITHOUT thermostat...it is like keeping
the window open when very cold.
About a year ago I got plenty of warnings
concerning water thermostat - I am happy
I kept my thoughts. You too?
Regards, Raimo

the oil is always around the 100 Celsius. Today the temperature was 10
c, and i climbed to 7000 feet, 75% power in about 10 minutes. Oil 110, and water
120 c Then down, throttle almost closed, near VNE and the oil came down to
70 C, just like the water. No danger of shock cooling on this one. I had to
change
the Evans though, because it would run too hot too soon. That problem is
gone now, i probably can run 100% forever. But easy does it, something to try
later with some more hours on the block.
