A buddy of mine (not a big forum user) has an older used io320 in his newly flying rv. Had a few issues when first run and had a AME look it over/adjust. Ran fine after that work now 70 hrs approx. Now he just had a really rough run on climb out and returned to land immediatley. Plugs and wires and fuel lines/supply all seem fine, no issues found.
I noticed this on one of the induction lines doing a look over.
He says the initial problem he had on first run months ago was traced back to an induction problem and the AME billed him for tons of silicone. Could this be an issue, and what might be the better fix. All that rtv looks like **** and it looks in the pic like there is still a leak no?
Any of the engine guys out there have some good ideas or suggestions? Thanks
