I'm looking for information that will give me the technical data on the engine - specifically the parts listing. I suppose I could go to the AF Historical Museum, but that's a far drive from Florida to Ohio.... Any solid advice is appreciated. This information will help a veteran in his arguement with the VA on his asbestosis and it's source.

These may help:

http://asbestosnewsdaily.com/trade/9995/pg/1/Jet_Engine_Mechanic.html
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22867741

That last one is a study of the Pratt & Whitney R2800 Engine, however it admits that "Similar results should be found in other aircraft piston engines that use metal clad and non-friable asbestos gaskets, which are the current standard in aircraft piston engines."

not a good source for technical data. It's only a referral for a lawyer. They refuse to part with information unless you pay them.

That least one is actually the better one, I started editing with more information and then got called away for a few hours. That said, sometimes contacting lawyers with subject matter expertise is worth the expense.

I am not sure which TO covers engines but I know the Air Force has them The C-124 also used R-4360. Google the dang thing! Keep digging. Some body some place has the answer--even if you have to look upward!!
