[Aiden, Tyler, Peter, Jon]

Continued tightening bolts on the turbo pump and 6"-8" reducer to reduce the leak. The final leak test values for the turbo pump flange was 3.0 e-9 and the other 6"-8" reducer flange was 4.0 e-9.

We will continue to let it pump down as the screws could not be tightened anymore. Looks like new gaskets will be needed to reduce the leaking on these flanges.
