(25 N m) Flexible Borescope (flexscope) 6 mm or 8 mm diameter minimum of 3.5 meters in length (recommended equipment) NOTE:A flexscope shorter than 3.5 meters cannot be used to accomplish this inspection.

3. ACCOMPLISHMENT INSTRUCTIONS A. Stage 1 HPT Stator Shroud BSI with a 3.5-Meter or Longer Flexscope NOTE: Video BSI or photos are strongly recommended when this inspection is done.

NOTE: Stage 1 HPT stator shroud damage has been seen at all clock positions.

Damage occurs more at mid chord and aft on stage 1 HPT stator shroud surface. Inspection of the entire stage 1 HPT stator shroud surface is required. You must look between the blades and under the blade tips to make sure that no indications are missed.

WARNING: USE THERMAL GLOVES WHEN YOU MOVE OR TOUCH HOT OR COLD PARTS. HOT OR COLD PARTS CAN CAUSE INJURY.

CAUTION: MAKE SURE THE TEMPERATURE OF THE ENGINE AND THE ADJACENT AREAS NEAR THE BSI PORTS ARE LESS THAN 150 F (66 C) DEGREES. DO NOT DO A BSI IF THE ADJACENT AREAS ARE TOO HOT TO TOUCH. DO THE BSI WHEN THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE IS LESS THAN 150 F (66 C) DEGREES. THIS WILL PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE BORESCOPE EQUIPMENT.

(1) Do a 360-degree BSI of the stage 1 HPT stator shroud (1, Figure 1) leading edge (LE) and mid chord. Refer to the GE90- 100 Boeing 777 AMM, TASK 72-00-00-290-805-H01, SUBTASK 72-00- 00-290-007-H01, and do as follows:

NOTE: A flexscope less than 3.5 meters in length cannot be used to do the BSI of the stage 1 HPT stator shrouds.

(a) Remove the borescope plug at the "Q" location.

(b) Insert a flexscope into the borescope port of the combustor diffuser nozzle (CDN) and pass it into the flow path.

(c) Follow the direction of the stage 1 HPT nozzle and continue to insert the flexscope over the top of the engine.

Continue to feed the flexscope into the flow path until you can see the flexscope insertion point (flexscope entering through the borescope port).

NOTE: It is very important that you can see the borescope entry point to make sure that a full 360 degrees flexscope travel has been accomplished for the inspection.

(d) Carefully remove the flexscope. Make sure to examine the stage 1 HPT stator shrouds as you remove the flexscope.

Inspect the mid chord of the stage 1 HPT stator shrouds (area of the stage 1 HPT stator shrouds between the blades) and the LE of the stage 1 HPT stator shrouds.

(e) While you examine the stage 1 HPT stator shrouds, evaluate each stage 1 HPT stator shroud as specified in paragraph

3.B., Inspection Results Evaluation, and complete the Inspection Findings Report Form as specified in paragraph

3.C., Inspection Findings Reporting, and Figure 3.

(f) When you complete the inspection, install the borescope plug. Refer to the GE90-100 Boeing 777 AMM, SUBTASK 72-00- 00-410-011-H01.

(2) Do a 360-degree BSI of the stage 1 HPT stator shroud (1, Figure 1) trailing edge (TE) and mid chord as follows:

NOTE:A flexscope less than 3.5 meters in length cannot be used to do the BSI of the stage 1 HPT stator shrouds.

(a) Remove the borescope plug at the "R" location.

(b) Insert a flexscope into the borescope port of the HPT case and pass it into the flow path.

(c) Follow the direction of the stage 2 HPT nozzle and continue to insert the ilexscope under the bottom oi the engine.

Continue to feed the flexscope into the flow path until you can see the flexscope insertion point (flexscope entering through the borescope port).

NOTE: It is very important that you can see the borescope entry point to make sure that a full 360 degrees flexscope travel has been accomplished for the inspection.

(d) Carefully remove the flexscope. Make sure to examine the stage 1 HPT stator shrouds as you remove the flexscope.

Inspect the mid chord of the stage 1 HPT stator shrouds (area of the stage 1 HPT stator shrouds between the blades) and the TE of the stage 1 HPT stator shrouds.
