Common Information
TASK 72-00-00-200-002-B00 Engine General - Examine (Borescope) The HP Compressor (HPC), Inspection-002
General
This TASK gives the procedure for the borescope inspection of HP compressor rotor blades and rotor ceramic lining for A5 engines and engines which have SBE 72-0560 (SelectOne Retrofit Standard) and (SelectOne Production Standard) incorporated.
This TASK is only required after engine pass off test. Any damage found must be reported to IAE Technical Services department.
For engines that require no further strip of the HP compressor. Refer to TASK 72-00-00-200-802 SPECIAL PROCEDURES-002.
It is also required that all pass off engines R3 clappers are inspected for overlap, if found report to IAE Technical Services department.
Nicks and dents on airfoils, 0.005 in. (0.127 mm) or less, are considered minor. Minor nicks and dents are acceptable. There is no limit to the number of minor nicks and dents allowed.
Fig/item numbers in parentheses in the procedure agree with those used in the IPC. Only primary Fig/item numbers are used. For the service bulletin alpha variants refer to the IPC.
For all the parts identified in a different Chapter/Section/Subject the applicable Chapter/Section/Subject comes before the Fig/item number.
For the torque tightening procedures refer to SPM TASK 70-41-01-400-501.
Lubricate all threads and abutment faces of nuts and bolts with CoMat 10-077 APPROVED ENGINE OILS, unless other lubricants are referred to in the procedure.
The number for each radial location must be identified in a clockwise direction. These start at the engine top position when you look from the rear of the engine, unless stated differently in the procedure.
