TRANSMITTAL INFORMATION |
REVISION 2 TO SERVICE BULLETIN 75-0003 |
Revision 2 is issued to update paragraph 1., PLANNING INFORMATION, and paragraph 2., MATERIAL INFORMATION. |

1. | PLANNING INFORMATION |
A. | Effectivity |
|
This Service Bulletin has been introduced in production to these GEnx-1B engines: |
• |
|
These serial numbers are the best available data. |
The high pressure turbine active clearance control (HPTACC) manifold and the related hardware are affected by this Service Bulletin. |
B. | Description |
This Service Bulletin introduces the HPTACC manifold and support system to reduce wear and improve repairability. |
C. | Compliance |
Category 7 |
GE recommends that you do this Service Bulletin at customer's convenience or option. |
NOTE: |
|
D. | Concurrent Requirements |
None. |
E. | Reason |
(1) | Objective: |
To introduce new parts, improve maintainability, and improve durability. |
(2) | Condition: |
The current six unique panel part numbers design has resulted in wear and reduced HPTACC system durability. |
(3) | Cause: |
The pinned connections at six locations on the panel allow vibration, displacement, and wear. Spray on wear pad is not repairable. |
(4) | Improvement: |
The wear pad replacement can be performed without replacing the entire panel due to the part count reduction from 11 to four released by this new HPTACC system design. |
The released design has a spring dampener mounting system that allows the panels to absorb thermal displacement, but restrains the panel against vibration displacements. |
(5) | Substantiation: |
Substantiation is by analysis. |
F. | Approval |
This Service Bulletin has been reviewed by the FAA and the repair(s) and modification(s) herein comply with the applicable Federal Aviation Regulations and are FAA APPROVED for installation in the model(s) listed in this Service Bulletin. |
G. | Manpower |
After you get access to the propulsor module assembly or HPTACC manifold, you will need approximately 6.0 man-hours to do the replacement portion of this Service Bulletin. |
H. | Weight and Balance |
The complete compliance with this Service Bulletin increases weight by 0.45 lb (0.20 kg). |
