Griffon_65 68 Report post Posted March 3, 2016 I was flying a spit 22 on sicily. After diving to chase a 262, my water temp started overcooking up to 180 degrees C. The water temp keeps rapidly rising unless I decrease throttle to 0, but oil temps remains normal. I use MEC all the time, and the radiators are fully open. Eventually the high temperatue damaged my engine, and I lost power. Can someone explain how this happened? P.S my plane did not take a scratch... there is no way my cooling was damaged Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
