PROBLEM
The fabricated fuel line on top of the engine between the raptor valve and the air inlet is subject to vibration levels that may lead to cracking of the fuel line. Also the compressor bypass seals on both sides of the 90-degree elbow section may become hard due to high temperatures and begin to leak. |
