G-IRON, has a 914 that has suddenly developed a tendency to boil.
Nothing has been done to the aircraft to precipitate this.
Even with short warm up and taxi it will boil slightly as you clime out
(at about 500ft). It will then stop boiling during the flight. On
landing it will boil again as you come to rest. The boiling is quite
gentle, not a big explosion of steam. It is filled with water/glycol.
We have been over everything looking for hot spots such as a coolant
pipe in contact with the exhaust and all is as it should be. The Rads
have been checked and they are both OK.
Has anyone got any ideas that might help
