Borescope Inspection of the Combustion Chamber Liners and Dome Area (DAC engine /P only)
1. Reason for the Job
This TASK is applicable for /P engines equipped with a Double Annular Combustor chamber.
NOTE: Inspection of the combustion chamber is limited to the areas that can be seen with a rigid borescope, at the 1, 3, 6 and 10 o'clock borescope ports, and at the 2 spark igniter ports.
the borescope ports at the 1, 3, 6, and 10 o'clock positions are located immediately in front of the fuel manifold. These ports and the 2 spark igniter ports permit the borescope inspection of the combustion chamber and the HPT nozzle.
2. Job Set-up Informationthe borescope ports at the 1, 3, 6, and 10 o'clock positions are located immediately in front of the fuel manifold. These ports and the 2 spark igniter ports permit the borescope inspection of the combustion chamber and the HPT nozzle.

D. Remove parts before additional borescope inspection.
(1) Remove the drain tube from the fuel nozzle adjacent to the 6 o'clock borescope plug.
(3) Remove both spark igniters (Ref. AMM TASK 74-21-30-000-002).
(4) Install CAP - PROTECTION on the leads and the spark igniters.

NOTE: If you remove the drain tube from the fuel nozzle adjacent to the 6 o'clock borescope plug, you will be required to perform a leak check after this inspection. Use the 6 o'clock borescope port only if necessary.
(2) Remove the borescope plugs from the approximate 1 and 6 o'clock positions. (3) Remove both spark igniters (Ref. AMM TASK 74-21-30-000-002).
(4) Install CAP - PROTECTION on the leads and the spark igniters.
E. Do a borescope inspection of the entire combustion chamber

(3) Safety the plugs withCP8001 lockwire 0.032 in. (0.8 mm) dia.
(4) If necessary, replace the O-ring on the fuel drain tube and install the tube to the fuel nozzle adjacent to the 6 o'clock borescope plug (Ref. AMM TASK 73-11-40-400-002).
(5) If necessary, remove the protective caps and install the spark igniters (Ref. AMM TASK 74-21-30-400-002)

NOTE: It may be necessary to mix a small amount of water with the magnesium hydroxide to make a paste.
(2) Install the borescope plugs. CAUTION:
BE SURE TO INSTALL THE CORRECT BORESCOPE PLUGS. THE COMBUSTOR BORESCOPE PLUGS DO NOT HAVE A STEM FEATURE. INADVERTENT INSTALLATION OF BORESCOPE PLUGS WITH STEMS FROM OTHER LOCATIONS WILL RESULT IN THE STEM FEATURE BEING BURNED AWAY BY COMBUSTION GASES.
(a) Install the borescope plugs and TORQUE to between 42 and 38 lbf.in (0.47 and 0.43 m.daN )

(5) If necessary, remove the protective caps and install the spark igniters (Ref. AMM TASK 74-21-30-400-002)
G. If necessary, do the borescope inspection of the outer side of the outer liner to confirm the extent of outer liner axial cracks (Ref. AMM TASK 72-42-00-290-006).
