A. Safety Precautions
(1) Do the procedure to prevent engine motoring
(Ref. AMM TASK 71-00-00-860-833).
(2) Put an 636-1100-3GSE INLET COWL PROTECT COVER inside the engine intake cowl and fan case inside surfaces.
4. Procedure(1) Do the procedure to prevent engine motoring
(Ref. AMM TASK 71-00-00-860-833).
(2) Put an 636-1100-3GSE INLET COWL PROTECT COVER inside the engine intake cowl and fan case inside surfaces.
CAUTION:
WIPE CLEAN ALL PARTS AND TOOLS AS NECESSARY TO REMOVE UNWANTED DEBRIS AND PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE.

(1) Use theP05-146 abrasive paper, silicon carbide , P05-253 paper, abrasive or the P05-274 paper, abrasive to abrade the repair area on the front acoustic liner to make the damage smooth and remove any contamination. Ensure that debris does not contaminate the engine. Remove all remaining debris with the VACUUM CLEANER.
(2) Visually examine the repair area. If the inner surface of the outer ring is damaged, follow the disposition per the visual inspection section. Perform a tap test to verify that the disbond did not extend past the repair area. Reject any disbond.
(3) Clean the repair area by SPOP 208 with theP11-078 alcohol, isopropyl or the acetone (Material No.P11-065) (Ref. AMM TASK 70-27-00-910-804):
(a) Flush the repair area before wiping. Mask outside the repair area to ensure that the solvent does not contaminate the engine.
(b) Allow the surface to air-dry at 60 deg.F (15.56 deg.C) to 90 deg.F (32.22 deg.C) for a minimum of 15 minutes.
(4) Apply anodize touch-up solution to any exposed aluminum surfaces at the repair area by SPOP 42 using AMS 2474 only and allow to air-dry for one hour minimum (Ref. AMM TASK 70-28-00-910-803).
(5) Clean the repair area by SPOP 208. Use theP11-078 alcohol, isopropyl or the acetone (Material No.P11-065) and allow the surface to air-dry at 60 deg.F (15.56 deg.C) to 90 deg.F (32.22 deg.C) for a minimum of 15 minutes (Ref. AMM TASK 70-27-00-910-804).
(6) Mask the front acoustic liner treatment outside of the repair area to prevent the adhesives and dust from blocking the acoustic treatment. Use theP05-437 tape, pressure sensitive polyester or the P05-493 tape, non-silicone adhesive, polyester .
(7) Fill the repair area per PWA 615. Use theP08-016 adhesive paste, epoxy, non-thixotropic or the P08-025 adhesive paste, epoxy, thixotropic , except the repair may occur in a clean area as follows:
1P08-016 adhesive paste, epoxy, non-thixotropic part A 100 parts to part B 33 parts.
2P08-025 adhesive paste, epoxy, thixotropic part A 100 parts to part B 17 parts.
P05-260 spatula, acrylic or fiber :
1 If necessary, it is permitted to increase the size of the liner perforations in the front acoustic liner by using the MACHINE - DRILLING, PORTABLE.
2 The compound, when applied, must come out through the liner perforations.
(c) Ensure that the adhesive filler material is retained in the repair location.
(d) Cure the adhesive, step 4.A.(7)(d)1_ or step 4.A.(7)(d)2_:
1 4 hours minimum at 60 deg.F (15.56 deg.C) to 90 deg.F (32.22 deg.C) followed by 1.5 hour at 140 deg.F (60.00 deg.C) to 160 deg.F (71.11 deg.C).
2 24 hours minimum at 60 deg.F (15.56 deg.C) to 90 deg.F (32.22 deg.C).
(e) Remove the masking tape after a minimum of 4 hours cure time.
(8) After the filler material is cured, remove the excess filler materials from the adjacent contour with theP05-146 abrasive paper, silicon carbide , P05-253 paper, abrasive , P05-274 paper, abrasive or equivalent. Ensure that the transition from the repair to the non-repair area is smooth and continuous.
(9) Clean the repair area by SPOP 208. Use theP11-078 alcohol, isopropyl or the acetone (Material No.P11-065) and allow the surface to air-dry at 60 deg.F (15.56 deg.C) to 90 deg.F (32.22 deg.C) for a minimum of 15 minutes (Ref. AMM TASK 70-27-00-910-804).
(10) Visually examine the repair area to ensure that all damage has been repaired.
(11) Apply anodize touch-up solution to any exposed aluminum surfaces at the repair area by SPOP 42 using AMS 2474 only and allow to air-dry for 1 hour minimum (Ref. AMM TASK 70-28-00-910-803).
(12) Touch-up the protective coating on the abraded aluminum-facesheet surface and epoxy repaired area by SPOP 167 using theP08-025 adhesive paste, epoxy, thixotropic (Ref. AMM TASK 70-28-00-910-805).
(13) Use a VACUUM CLEANER to remove chips and debris, paying particular attention to the bottom of the fan case.
(14) Clean the repair area by SPOP 208. Use theP11-078 alcohol, isopropyl or the acetone (Material No.P11-065) (Ref. AMM TASK 70-27-00-910-804).
(15) Examine the assembly for foreign object damage and correct assembly.
