Ditto here.  When my EGT starts hopping, the first thing I look at is =
the injector.  2 for 2 on that being the reason (don't ask me how little =
bits of dust/lint made it through the system). =20

These lead deposits look fairly normal to me, and anyway, how could they =
possible cause a sudden change in EGT?  It'd have to be gradual.

PS -- I imagine turbine blades and burner cans get pretty cruddy too.  =
But by all means, use any rationale to get a turbine, what the hey
