Nope not resolved yet.... but the guys just finished doing a hot inspection and ended up changing the power turbines. But they don't recon that that's what's causing the problem.....the problem was....wait for it, series of compressor stalls. The compressors blades are out of wack. They'd be trying to blend the blades and see if it'll do the trick for the time being since the engine needs to be overhauled anyway. But for a temporary workaround it may be enough. Really, to just be able to sell the aircraft in flying condition =)
