"O-rings, where the oil comes into the valve train ..."  :evil:
That's the combustion chamber of the turbo shaft. It is supposed to be on fire. You just don't usually see it but the case and fairing fell off.

I'm kinda curious, does anyone know why they call them "O-rings?"

A ring is a thing that goes around something and the shape (cross section) is round?

In development, prototypes A thru N were not practical.

Sadly followed by x (ph;ex) and z (ph;zed) rings, lots of letters lost out. They may have tried w rings ?
