Not a problem at all. Reddit is not necessary the best source for accurate information.

Look like a genus installed ,piped wrong and god forbid you have to remove any burners .Who installed the boiler w the front facing a wall ? It looks as though the hartford loop is remotely installed instead of off the equalizer drop again a public school grad not reading instructions but the copper pipe gives it right away . Typical a good install in reality you need some one to re install that boiler correctly the performance and your fuel consumptions will tell the tale . Most likely its has a good deal of mud and rust in the boiler hence the churning noise but some will stay unnecessary but usually a good wanding and flushing of the bottom of the boiler and flushing of the return piping will help . Your performance will only as good as the near boiler piping but as most know steam is quite forgiving and will usually work even if installed improperly unless by some one who has a clue then there issues but when a hack installs it works perfect 'one of god miracles for sure and in complete opposite of murphy's law .

peace and good luck clammy
