The turbine shell came back from the OEM today. The weld repair looks decent.. I hope that it will bolt right up. We removed the R0 blades today and inspected all for cracks. Two blades had cracks and another 6-7 showed signs of pitting and fretting wear. New replacements are on their way and should be ready for installation on Sunday morning. The third stage nozzles are installed and the guys are working on installing the second stages. We began mounting shourds to the turbine shell also. things are starting to come together.... hopefully we'll be able to gather all of the hardware removed for a smooth reassembly! Stay tuned!
