This is my first post on this board and I would like to start off by saying Thank you to all past, present and future Canadian Forces members for the sacrifices you make to serve our country. Also, my father served in the Canadian Navy in WWII on a Corvette Escorting merchant ships across the north Atlantic so there is military service in the family but I haven't had the honor to do so myself.
Please excuse my ignorance for military terminology, but in laymen terms I'm trying to find either an active or retired GE-T58 Gas Turbine Technician for a project I'm working on where I'm putting one of these surplus engines in a boat for a racing application. I've found some manuals that I'm currently studying but I'm sure there is a lot more "real life" information that isn't in the manuals that only someone with years of shop and field experience would have. Please contact me if you would like to be a part of this project, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
I'm also looking to acquire more surplus T58 spare parts or complete engines, but haven't had any luck in Canada and only marginal luck elsewhere, so again any assistance here would also be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Jesse Foster
