I.e. there's possibly/probably an issue with Orion there if anything..(could also just be that they tune totally differently from what I and other people were used to..)
The three Orion WC engines I am aware of in Vietnam all 3 ran like crap and both Cody kings were tested and found to have small cracks in the case that we assume opened up when the engines were at running temp causing a vacuum leak leading to them not running right. The tebo engine wasn't tested so I am not sure on that one.
