SS930

Nice work G.

How many hours are on this engine since installation in the Skater, ~ 20 - 25? I know it only goes out a couple of times per year, but I guess salt exposure is salt exposure regardless. The corrosion doesn't look too bad all things considering, but it is certainly noticeable. Obviously there is no fresh water "flush", but is there any reason the running turbines couldn't be spayed down with a fresh water mist for a couple of minutes after use???


The differences in the nozzle spray patterns bothers me... did Jim have anything to say about this?

KNOT-RIGHT

Yes i agree Scot on the patten looks like three nozzles may be suffering from a weekend at ballards.
Jim has been coaching me and is getting the nozzles to test.
i do have the freshwater flush however the salt spray is inevitable. The kn large panel filters may help
overall i have yet to find any real internal corrosion on the port engine.
I will be doing a reduction box inspection as well as a compressor inspection and the first stage GP nozzle.
so grab the beer its gonna be a long winter!

lets keep going on the hot section.
There is a special puller for this however i was able to get it off.
notice all bolts are marked. and the Heavy mark is noted.[IMG][/IMG]

the rotor is removed exposing the nozzle
we are looking for cracks.

KNOT-RIGHT

Here is something to note rotors are items that spin in a turbine and nozzles are stationary

i see to small cracks by the way.
In reading the t53 for the mentally challenged book that Jim gave me there are multiple areas that actually allow
cracks.
