Hi Matt:

My P-80 was hitted by the landing gear during a hard landing causing a big dent in the outer shell.

Compressor and turbine wheel are turning free.

I lighted the turbine but just at minimum, and all seems to be OK

Can I run it in this condition or am I taking the risk of destroy it?

Or is preferable to take the shell out to a machine shop to try to fix it? Or replace this part?

If needed to be repaired or replaced, can you tell me the steps to remove this shell? Seems to me to be an easy job, but I need your advice.
