Hi there!
IMO:
1, Phase tech has - basically - two different parts.
One is a "commercial" grade technology - equivalent or
a bit advanced version of the 3 galaxies "average" technical
level. This is usually the support of the phase circuits
(if they are circuits) - like targetting systems, power supply
etc.
2, Then there is the phase tech, which is not wholly in this
phase, manufacture with the express purpose of being
non-decipherale. Since the prometheans are a psionic race,
plus they - obviously - have aces to psylite technology, I would
say that this part is unaccessible.
The most one can reach, is to activate the anti-tampering
mechanism, which pops the "sensitive" part out of this existence.
Now, both components are very dependable, and also
modular - therefore if something goes wrong, one can
simply exchange the module - the PW book mentions,
that Phase-field driven ships actually carry 2 or 3 engines
in spare parts...
Putting it short: if you run out of spares, and the drive
goes down, hope that you will get help - 'cause the space
is cold. (Except if the conventional part brokes, which
can be dealt like any "common" machinery).

Hmmm....
Yeah, maybe it is possible to modify for example
the phase FTL drive of the Star Ghost, to fit into
a runner ship (althought it will be significantly slower,
like 0,5-1 ly/h).
