1.4. Engines affected Engine affected: E4 Series Engine model(s): E4, E4P Serial number(s) affected: All engines listed in Table 1, and any engines with Piston P/N E4A-72- 400-000 installed. (Note : engines produced before 01/2023 without the piston P/N recorded are unaffected, if no core or piston replacement or overhaul has been performed).
o Piston or engine core replacement is not a terminating action:
o The recurrent inspection must be continued even if the engine core is replaced, and the installed core serial number is listed in Table 1.
o The recurrent inspection must be continued even if the pistons are replaced, and the installed piston p/n is E4A-72-400-000.

1.5. Reason Cases of piston cracks have been identified by Austro Engine. These cracks can develop to an extent leading to power loss if not detected. Such cracks can be detected during the borescope inspection.
This service Bulletin provides the necessary instructions to inspect pistons for early crack detection.
1.6. Time of compliance Engine configuration Time since installation Initial inspection Repetitive inspection E4A, E4P < 100 FH 100 FH 50 FH ± 10 FH > 100 FH Before the Next Flight 50 FH ± 10 FH E4B, E4C < 200 FH 200 FH 100 FH ± 10 FH > 200 FH Before the Next Flight 100 FH ± 10 FH
For the initial inspection, a single ferry flight without passengers, not exceeding 3 flight hours (FH) in VMC condition, is permitted to reach a maintenance location where the required action can be performed.
1.6.1. Credits Piston borescope i nspections, accomplished before the effective date of this Mandatory Service Bulletin in accordance with the instructions of the AR1734 , are acceptable to comply with the requirements of this Mandatory Service Bulletin for that engine.
1.6.2. Parts Installation From the effective date of this Mandatory Service Bulletin, installation of a piston p/n N E4A-72-400- 000 is allowed, provided recurrent borescope inspection is accomplished in accordance with the compliance time listed in paragraph 1.6.
1.7. Concurrent documents / references Note: If not specified, the latest revision of the referenced documents applies.
