T-3 rebuild info

I was wondering if anyone had suggestions or info on rebuilding a T-3. I found it had play in the bearings, but neither turbines have came in contact with the housing. I did find that the shaft has grooves where the bearings ride. So the out of tolerance problem with shaft replacement and a rebuild kit is what I am looking for. Thanks Sean

If it was just seals and bearing, you might be OK, but wiht a shaft needing replaced, the assy ought to be balanced. Or try to find a rebuilt center section that has already been balanced.
