Today I got up early and headed out to the workshop with a pan of coffee. I forgot to test if the new oil block is leak free so I removed it from the shaft tunnel, blocked off the exits and gave it 5 kg oil pressure. Not a sign of a leak so I am satisfied.
While I had the piece removed I milled the wire lock grooves a bit wider so I could lock the bolts properly.
Assembling the shaft tunnel and diffuser housing.
This is what the new wire locking looks like, a bit better than before.
After that I could fit the combustor/NGV piece, the cheramic coating holds up remarkably well despite being exposed to close to 1000°C during some of the early runs.
I test flowed the syringe injectors to see if any of them were blocked by dirt in the fuel system, as far as I could tell all of them were flowing fuel so it is all good.
Turbine shaft fitted and compressor wheel on its way!
The compressor nut is angle torqued to 130°-145°, feels insanely much but that is according to the manual so it must be correct.
After some more assembling the JU-01 was completed and waiting to be put back in the frame where it belongs.
Cheers!
