Hi I am going to be modeling a jet engine for a class project. I am having a heck of a time finding good photo reference...side shot top front etc... Im going to take a trip to the library to see if I can find something there but I figured I would ask if anybody has any good ideas where I could come up with some good refs. thanks so much

Have a look in the hardcore modeling section over on Cgtalk, they just finished a "cut away" challenge and one guy did a jet engine, maybe worth a look to see if he said where he got reference from, or to see if you can use any of his images as reference

Rolls Royce

Try a google image search for Rolls Royce Trent 900, which is the Engine in the Airbus A380.

I've also attached an image I found. There's lots out there, unfortunately nothing as clear as front & side.
