Abstract
A flexible bellows assembly is disclosed for sealing an engine igniter for use with an engine. The bellows assembly includes a mounting arrangement that is operable to be secured to a combustor diffuser instead of the combustor liner. The bellows has a component that impinges upon a surface of the combustor liner so as to form a sealed chamber between a metal diffuser and a ceramic combustion liner. An igniter passes through the sealed chamber and provides ignition to the combustor.
