Saturday's inspection, I was concerned about the tight bend on the suction line of the AC.
The AC system worked so I ran the system for 15 minutes. It cooled the house and there didn't seem to be any short cycling or frost build up.
I'm curious, is this a problem?
What would be the symptoms?

If everything was working properly, I probably wouldn't call it out. You can't tell that it is crimped anyway, because of the insulation covering it. If it were a new installation, I may investigate further, but if it is older, it has survived the test of time.
