A. Prepare for inspection:
(1) Use the MONITOR, RESOLUTION BORESCOPE (856A1323) (856A1323G01) to make sure that
the borescope or fiberscope and light source are serviceable. See the Engine manufacturer Non-
Destructive Test Manual for this procedure Ref. NTM 720000.
(2) Install the tools to turn the core engine.
NOTE: The core engine may be turned using a breaker bar (see step (a)) or with a drive motor (see
step (b)).
(a) To turn the core manually with a breaker bar, do the steps that follow:

1 Remove the handcranking drive cover from the core rotation pad on the left side of the
Accessory Gearbox (AGB), opposite the starter (Ref. AMM TASK 72-63-00-000-002) .
2 Install a SPEED BRACE 3/4 IN - SQUARE DRIVE with a BAR LENGTH 60 CM (2 FT)
BREAKER into the handcranking drive pad. When you do the borescope inspection, turn the
core engine clockwise (CW, aft looking forward).
NOTE: To turn the core engine CW, the handcranking drive must be turned counterclock-
wise (CCW).
(b) To turn the core with a drive motor, do the steps that follow:
1 Remove the starter (Ref. AMM TASK 80-11-10-000-002) .
2 Install the MOTOR, DRIVE - CORE ENGINE ROTATION (856A1488) (856A1488 P01 or
P02) into the Accessory Gearbox (AGB) starter drive pad. Align the drive shaft of the drive
motor with the starter drive pad shaft and engage the splines.
NOTE: The tool must be installed in the horizontal position with the air hoses to the rear.
3 Turn the tool until the captive bolts align with the gearbox bolt holes.
4 Tighten the two captive bolts by hand.
5 Install the clamp to secure the drive motor.
6 Attach the foot or hand control air hoses to the quick disconnects on the tool.
7 Connect the air supply to the drive motor. The air supply must be capable of 100 psi (6.9
bar). The air supply must be lubricated and filtered at 6 SCFM (170 L/minute).
(3) Remove one of the borescope plugs (S16 or S17) found immediately in front of the aft flange of the
combustion case at the 5:30 and 8:30 o'clock positions.
(4) Connect the fiber light cable to the BORESCOPE-KIT (856A1320) (856A1320 P04 or P05), and to
the port on the BORESCOPE-LIGHT SOURCE SET (856A1322) (856A1322 P03, P04 or P07).
(5) Put the rigid borescope of the BORESCOPE-KIT (856A1320) (856A1320 P04 or P05) into the
borescope port and turn on the light source of BORESCOPE-LIGHT SOURCE SET (856A1322)
(856A1322 P03 or P04).
Subtask 72-52-00-290-053-A
B. Do a borescope inspection :
(1) Look at the trailing edge, tip concave and convex sides of the HPT blades as follows:
(a) Adjust the borescope equipment to obtain maximum clarity of view.

(b) Turn the HPT rotor CW (aft looking forward). Stop the rotor at each blade to make sure all of the
defects can be seen.
NOTE: To turn the HPT rotor CW, the rotation pad drive must be turned counterclockwise
(CCW).
(c) Inspect the HPT blades (from the rear) and use the limits that follow:

NOTE: It is not easy to visually tell when cooling holes are plugged. Cooling holes which are ap-
parently plugged are permitted if any cracking, erosion or burning is within serviceable
limits.
NOTE: Crack indications which are not completely identified may be sprayed with stod-
dard solvent (Material No. CP2011) or acetone (Material No. CP1039) or isopro-
pyl alcohol (Material No. CP1041) or ardrox 552 (Material No. CP2559) or turco ind
79 (Material No. CP2560) or mag-chem teksol (Material No. CP2566) or degreasol 99
R (Material No. CP2584) or mag-chem skysol (Material No. CP2656) or an equivalent
substitute to remove light engine deposits.
NOTE: If a HPT blade has impact damage, you must do a 360 degree combustor borescope in-
spection to look for combustor distress (Ref. AMM TASK 72-42-00-290-041) .
NOTE: For the purposes of estimating the size of any distress, the radial spacing of the trailing
edge slots is approximately 0.1 in. (2.54 mm).

(c) Inspect the HPT blades (from the rear) and use the limits that follow:

NOTE: It is not easy to visually tell when cooling holes are plugged. Cooling holes which are ap-
parently plugged are permitted if any cracking, erosion or burning is within serviceable
limits.
NOTE: Crack indications which are not completely identified may be sprayed with stod-
dard solvent (Material No. CP2011) or acetone (Material No. CP1039) or isopro-

(7) Turn the pointed tab on the plastic guide tube to the rear of the engine and remove the straightening
rod from the plastic guide tube.
(8) Installation of the borescope:
CAUTION: FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY FOR INSERTING OR REMOVING THE

FLEXIBLE BORESCOPE. DOING THE PROCEDURE INCORRECTLY WILL DAM-
AGE THE TIP CONTROL FUNCTION.
(a) Connect the fiber light cable to the FIBERSCOPE SET (856A1321) (856A1321 P01 or P03) to
the BORESCOPE-LIGHT SOURCE SET (856A1322) (856A1322 P03, P04 or P07).
(b) 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.

(c) Push the borescope through the plastic guide tube until the tip comes out of the end of the tube.
(d) Push the tip of the borescope between the nozzle vanes by using the tip deflection control.
(e) Turn on the light source of the BORESCOPE-LIGHT SOURCE SET (856A1322) (856A1322
P03 or P04).
(f) Adjust the borescope equipment to get maximum clarity of view.
(9) Turn the HPT rotor CW (aft looking forward). Stop the rotor at each blade to make sure all of the
NOTE: To turn the HPT rotor CW, the rotation pad drive must be turned CCW.
(10) Inspect the HPT blades (from the front) and use the limits that follow:
NOTE: It is not easy to visually tell when cooling holes are plugged. Cooling holes which are appar-
ently plugged are permitted if any cracking, erosion or burning is within serviceable limits.
NOTE: Crack indications which are not completely identified may be sprayed with solvent (CP2011)
or an equivalent substitute to remove light engine deposits.
NOTE: When a HPT blade has impact damage, you must do a 360 degree combustor borescope in-
NOTE: For purposes of estimating the size of any distress, the radial spacing of the trailing edge slots
is approximately 0.1 in. (2.54 mm).
NOTE: After long exposure, once protective coatings are consumed, the base metal can start to oxid-
ize. This oxidation is usually black or very dark in color and usually has a rough surface.
NOTE: After you have removed the igniter plug for access, if you see non-serviceable damage or
fragmentation of the igniter plug tip, replace it and make a note of the findings in the bore-
scope findings report. Then pay special attention to the HPT Blades for impact damage, espe-
cially on the airfoil leading edge and outer/forward convex airfoil regions.
