Definitely sounds like it!!! Make sure you check the hardness of the
head
when you remove them and the security of the valve seats,
Are you using the Evans coolant? Or 50% antifreeze mix,

Subject: Re: Europa-List: Cylinder cracks on 914?
About 2 weeks ago when the OAT was over 100=B0F I had an over temp alarm
on my
EFIS for about 1 minute before the temps dropped back into normal range,
the
next flight was 21 days later for 1.2 hrs. & the engine seemed a little
rough. I pulled the plugs for a check & the lower sparkplug on the # 2
cylinder was full of coolant,although no noticeable loss of coolant. Got
to
be a crack in the head right?
