Okay its finally starting to look like a turbine again. We spend yesterday trying to fish out some foreign matter that entered the compressor section. check out the images from the borescope inspection. They look HUGE right? In reality they are merely a few centimeters! We used compressed air to blow out some of the metal shavings and wood cribbing fragments but lost some time on the reassembly. Lessons learned: stage the wooden platform below the horizontal joint and dont FPI (zyglo) the compressor blades until the metal shavings are blown out.
the CDC casing and turbine shells are back on and the crew is working on bolting the bad boy up along with installing some of the lower half TP's.
less than a week left! Fuel piping will be a nightmare!
