Default RE: JetJoe OWNERS thread

Thanks for your useful information.
I did tighten the turbine nut at higher torque value by one hand holding the turbine blades cloth covered. Additionally I put a film of pure nickel antiseize compound on the thread of shaft when installing of the nut to prevent high temperature seize.

The failed start was due to high EGT and slow acceleration. The rotor RPM decreased after starter disengaged whenas the rotor RPM should go up quickly. This was the first time I met. When engine striped, the turbine nut can easily loose (usually the compressor nut loose first). So I suspect my mistake during change the turbine wheel.
These information may be useful for anybody.
