Engine Overheating - Feb 2005

Also, what's the easiest way to find someone in my area (Portland, Oregon) 
who will work on the 912S.  I keep it at PDX, but the FBO doesn't have  anyone
certified/qualified to work on it.

Thanks to Bruce and Horst for their responses about the oil sensor.   The
next problem N124XS has developed is overheating, with oil boiling up and  into
the overflow tube then onto the ground.  The CHT goes close to  redline.  Has
anyone else had this problem? It seems to have come on after  switching to the
new coolant.

Oh, golly. This is interesting. It sounds like there's a blockage. Are
you able to run the engine at 65%, because I think that's the limit if
there's no liquid cooling available.

Oh, boy...this is interesting. Thanks.

Anyone else with a engine overheat problem following a coolant change?

Bruce - thanks for the response. The engine develops full power.  This 
morning's problem came toward the end of a 5 minute ground run with about 2 
minutes at 5000 rpm.  The OAT was 45 degrees.
