Air Research TurboJet Converted JFS100-13A (2)

A little heat and some light tapping removed the spacer plate from the gas generator flange.
I guess this is where all the dust has come from, I hope it looks a lot worse than it actually is.

After a careful cleaning session with a fine wire brush, the old gasket and best part of the erosion has been removed, it looks a lot better now. However the pitting may be of concern in the future, also the Air Impingement starter pipes can now be clearly seen.

The Free Power Turbine unit after removal and cleaning. This would look good on any ones mantle piece.
View of the power turbine wheel after cleaning and there's not a mark on it, which is good news.

 
Crumpled high tension lead from the igniter box, I guess by looking at some other web sites this is actually quite normal.

The two Canon electrical connectors used on the engine. As a note for those of you that need to get hold of the opposing connectors, the part numbers are IT3106F18-8S and IT3106E24-12S which are available from Servo.

Now I will have to find or make a gasket the will fit between the gas generator housing and the power turbine guide assembly. This is of course that I end up using the engine as a Turbo Shaft and not a Turbo Jet.
 
A nice clean gas generator section. Now I'm torn between making a turbo jet or a turbo shaft.
