4. Procedure
Subtask 72-53-00-010-052-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL

A. Remove the spark igniters (Ref. AMM TASK 74-21-30-000-001).
(1) Install the CAP - PROTECTION on the leads and the spark igniters.

B. Do a borescope inspection:

CAUTION: FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY FOR INSERTING OR REMOVING THE FLEXIBLE BORESCOPE. DOING THE PROCEDURE INCORRECTLY WILL DAMAGE THE TIP CONTROL FUNCTION.

(1) Put the 856A1351 GUIDE TUBE,BORESCOPE-HPT SHROUD (856A1310G01), over the straightening rod.
(2) Push the plastic guide tube and straightening rod into the combustion chamber as far as it will go.
(3) Point the pointed tab on the plastic guide tube to the rear of the engine and remove the straightening rod from the plastic guide tube.
(4) Connect the 856A1321 FIBERSCOPE SET (856A1321 P01 or P03), to the 856A1322 BORESCOPE-LIGHT SOURCE SET (856A1322 P03, P04 or P07).

NOTE: Use the 856A1323 MONITOR, RESOLUTION BORESCOPE to make sure borescope and the light source are serviceable. See the Non Destructive Test Manuel for this procedure (Ref. NDTM 720000).

(5) Align the borescope lens with one of the plastic tabs on the guide tube and install it into the tube. Make sure that the borescope tip is not moved up or down when putting it into the plastic guide tube.
(6) Push the borescope through the plastic guide tube until the tip comes out of the end of the tube.
(7) Push the tip of the borescope between the nozzle vanes by using the tip deflection control.
(8) Inspect the HPT Shroud.

INSPECT/CHECK	MAXIMUM SERVICEABLE LIMITS	REMARKS
