Hey guys, condition inspecting and modifying my friend‘s Eagle with a new Sky Dynamics 4-1 exhaust this year (angle valve IO-360) and have a concern about routing the bottom breather line that goes from sump to breather canister. Originally it was touching the #3 exhaust tube, which despite its fire sleeve thought was a no-no. Rejiggered the -10 fittings, including using a straight one on the canister bottom, but ended up going back with the original elbow, reclocking and rerouting the line (see pics). Thought maybe a straight fitting from the sump could work, but the original elbow has the embedded standpipe tube and not sure Christen makes a straight -10 with standpipe. I think we have enough clearance, maybe 1/4” with everything tightened up. Pics are a bit sloppy but I’m mid-install with not everything buttoned up. Thoughts? Thanks…
