Hi,
I am currently trying to do a project related to this engine and I am trying to find information about it. I am looking for technical papers, journals or overall description of the inner workings of the engine. I am looking forward for something more in depth than wikipedia.

Also, information about engines from similar years (IIWW years) would be appreciated.

Thread 'General principle of turbomachinery: true also for rocket turbopumps?'
A rule of thumb of aircraft engineers is every 10% increase in the power level engines are run at corresponds to a 50% decrease in engine lifetime. This is a general phenomenon of turbomachinery. Then it is likely it also holds for rocket turbopumps. Then quite key is the rule also holds in reverse, every decrease in power level by 10% can result in doubling the lifetime of the engine. Then by running the engine at 0.9^5 = 0.60 power level can result in 2^5 = 32 times longer lifetime. For...
