Hello all i have just got another Jet Engine its a very early Fairchild J44 very complete engine i have two questions i hope someone can help with. First the early J44 used compressed air to start (2000 psi). the gear box has a AC generator bolted to the same mounting pad as the later J44 starter, what im looking for is a later model DC starter motor it anyone know where one can be found at a fare price please let me know.
Second question, The oil mist system? im not sure how the rear bearing gets oil, i think there is a external oil line that im missing but not sure. i have a manual for the later J44 and it looks different on the outside? mine has a outer housing that runs the full length of the engine and im guessing all the piping is inside of this?
