No, its fine, in that photo, it was covered in my favorite juice - ACF50, an expensive way to use maintenance spray, but amazing stuff. I use in on the machine steel in my machines to keep the rust a bay.

I might look at tweaking the design of the "venturi" or as I have just discovered it's retail name of "Air directional stinger cone" and get it made from some high temperature lightweight material, even cast one in alloy using this 3D print as a pattern, although may have to calculate some shrinkage.

Anyone with a lathe (four jaw) could do this, cut the profile, then machine round off center by about an inch.



Shame it doesen't exist for the G56 kit, with the four bolt holes, however I would have thought the effort that they took in the design, maybe this component isn't needed at all.
