low n' slow's items apply in principle to all engines, great or small. The numbers may vary model to model, but a gas turbine's a gas turbine.

The "rotor bow" phenomenon (convection within the cases causing static spools to be temporarily unbalanced) was first described to me about 1970. Seems to me that if one engaged the starter for a few seconds to stir things up, you could overcome this issue. But I've never heard of this as an approved procedure.
