General
Fig/item numbers in parentheses in the procedure agree with those used in the IPC. Only the primary Fig/item numbers are used. For the service bulletin alpha variants refer to the IPC.
The policy that is necessary for inspection is given in SPM TASK 70-20-01-200-501.
All the parts must be cleaned before any part is examined. Refer to Cleaning-000 TASK 73-11-41-100-100.
All parts must be visually examined for damage, corrosion and wear. Any defects that are not identified in the procedure must be referred to IAE.
Do not discard any part until you are sure there are no repairs available. Refer to the instructions in Repair before a discarded part is used again or oversize parts are installed.
Parts which should be discarded can be held although no repair is available. The repair of a discarded part could be shown to be necessary at a later date.
All parts must be examined to make sure that all the repairs have been completed satisfactorily.
The practices and processes referred to in the procedure by the TASK numbers are in the SPM.
To identify the consumable materials refer to the PCI.

SUBTASK 73-11-41-220-051 Examine the Fuel Manifolds for Kinks, Dents, Nicks, Chafing, Corrosion, Scratches and Wear
Refer to Figure.
Use IAE 3P16640 Facer - Conical Fitting Repair .500 x .750-16 or IAE 3P16641 Facer - Conical Fitting Repair .4375 x .625-18 to example tube fitting.
Install the bluing gage detail of the applicable tool through the screw.
Insert the bar through the hole in the gage detail.
If CoMat 02-402 CARBON PAPER is used, make the ink side slightly wet with CoMat 10-061 STODDARD SOLVENT, and wipe the conical surface of the gage with the ink side of the wet carbon paper.
Apply one of the following materials to the conical surface of the bluing gage.
Turn the screw detail of the tool into the tube nut until the conical surfaces touch.
Rotate the screw detail an additional 45 degrees (maximum), and then rotate it back to the start position.
Seat the gage as follows.
Rotate the gage one-half turn and then rotate the gage back to the start position.
Remove the gage from the tube nut.
Show the pattern of contact as follows.
NOTE
The pattern of contact shows where the gage touches the part.
Examine the conical seat of the tube fitting as follows.

Use the procedure for a local high sensitivity inspection.
The braze joint at the ferrule furthest from the tee is the only location on each fuel nozzle supply manifold assembly that must be inspected.
Cracks in the fuel nozzle supply manifold assemblies at this location are not acceptable. Replace any assembly that has this condition.
Do a fluorescent penetrant inspection by the procedure given in SPM TASK 70-23-05-230-501.

Put the fittings on the end of the manifold where the fuel nozzles connect.
Attach a suitable adapter to the end of manifold that connects to the fuel distribution valve.
Connect a regulated air supply to the adapter.
Apply 95 psig to 105 psig (655.0 kPa to 723.9 kPa) of the air pressure.
Do a leak check with CoMat 10-045 LEAK CHECK FLUID, BUBBLES-TYPE. Do a careful check of all the manifold joints.
