There's something not quite right with how freezers in the cold loop work.
If all of them are running, then late into the round cold loop inlet pressure reaches negative values and the engine INSTANTLY shuts down to 0W. Sometimes it has hiccups and it bounces between 0W and whatever power you're supposed to be producing. I have not tested yet if using less freezers changes anything but it sounds to me like an issue that I should report.
Also, suggestion: maintenance below engine room by EVA should be engi access only. Because of the flame you end up needing to vent it, otherwise temperatures in there can easily reach dangerous numbers.
Also, the most important engine related suggestion of all: WHAT THE HELL Mr Rathen with his engineer's jumpsuit is doing in the test chamber, he belongs in the burn chamber. He needs to spawn in engineering roundstart :P
