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:

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!!

If you need a lawyer, try you base/post legal office. It is free. There is also loads of information there. I did my "brief" on a case I got there.

I flew the KB-50J & K. We had the R-4360. I know it had asbestos insulation on the engine. Hell, if you worked on them you must have been around the Aircraft and they are loaded with asbestos. Keep at them. Search every place you worked. Engine shop is good enough. Back then everything had asbestos. Don't take NO for an answer, Dam good question for once. Somebody asking for help. Let's load him down RP.

The best I could find is http://tinyurl.com/qebpxhy unfortunately it is a 43$ book.
Leaving no stone unturned, this book provides a detailed account of the inner workings of the R-4360. Also covered is the engineäó»s development history, variations, and its military, commercial, and racing applications.
