Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Niger,
Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, United Arab
Emirates, or Yemen, as follows:
(a) Do a borescope inspection of the HPC airfoils and look for erosion of the
airfoil corners and chord. Refer to the Boeing 737-600/-700/-800/-900

CFM Designated: - CONFIDENTIAL Subject to the restrictions on the media
(b) Do a borescope inspection of the LE of the HPT blades and look

for oxidation, through wall holes, and cracking. Refer to the Boeing
737-600/-700/-800/-900 AMM, TASK 72-00-00-200-807-F00.

1 Do this task again at intervals of 800 subsequent cycles thereafter.
2 Refer to the Boeing 737-600/-700/-800/-900 AMM for serviceability

requirements.
3 Deleted.
(c) Do a borescope inspection of the HPC stage 4 vane sectors as follows:
1 Remove the upper left side LPT air cooling tube, refer to Figure 1
and do as follows:
a Remove retaining strap (35-700, 72-00-02) and bolts (35-690)

from LPT air cooling tube (35-750) and bracket (01-820,
72-41-00).
b Remove retaining strap (35-680) and bolts (35-670) from LPT air
cooling tube (35-750) and bracket (35-810) at the 10:30 o'clock
position of flange R.
c Remove retaining strap (35-720) and bolts (35-710) from LPT air
position of flange P.
d Remove LPT air cooling tube (35-750), seal ring (35-760) and
bolts (35-730) from combustion case at the 11:00 o'clock position.
e For pre-CFM56-7B S/B 72-0117, remove LPT air cooling tube

(35-750), gasket (35-770), metering plate (35-780), seal ring
(35-790) and bolts (35-740) from HPC front stator at the 10:30
o'clock position.
f For post-CFM56-7B S/B 72-0117, remove LPT air cooling tube

(35-750), seal ring (35-790) and bolts (35-740) from HPC front
stator at the 10:30 o'clock position.
2 Do a special flexible borescope inspection as follows:
a Inspect the HPC stage 4 vane sector trailing edges for erosion
as follows:
May 24, 2007 CFM56-7B S/B 72-0636

1) Use the resolution-borescope monitor to make sure the

fiberscope set is serviceable.
2) Connect the fiber light cable.
3) Insert the flexible borescope probe in the LPT bleed port on

the HPC front stator 10:30 o'clock position.
4) Insert the flexible borescope probe through the HPC stage

4 vane sector bleed slot.
NOTE: Approximately five or six vane sector bleed slots

will be visible though the LPT bleed port. It is
recommended to inspect in at least two or three
positions to obtain the best viewing angle of the
vane sector trailing edge.
5) Articulate the scope to focus on the vane sector trailing

edge.
6) Look for erosion on the vane sector trailing edge, especially

near the outer platform.
7) Re-inspection intervals depend on the amount of

serviceable distress found.
a) If no erosion is found, then re-inspect before 4,800

cycles.
b) If trailing edge is eroded but not axially past the start

of the bleed slot (Figure 2), then re-inspect before
1,600 cycles.
c) If trailing edge is eroded axially past the start of the

bleed slot (Figure 2), then remove engine before 100
cycles.
8) Slowly pull the flex scope back out of the port after
inspection is completed.
3 Install the upper LPT air cooling tube on the left side of the engine,
refer to Figure 1 and do as follows:
a Install LPT air cooling tube (35-750, 72-00-02), seal ring (35-760)
and bolts (35-730) on combustion case at the 11 o'clock position.
Torque the bolts to 62-68 lb in. (7.0-7.7 N·m).
b For pre-CFM56-7B S/B 72-0117, install LPT air cooling tube

(35-750), gasket (35-770), metering plate (35-780), seal ring
(35-790) and bolts (35-740) on HPC front stator at the 10:30
o'clock position. Torque the bolts to 62-68 lb in. (7.0-7.7 N·m).
May 24, 2007 CFM56-7B S/B 72-0636

c For post-CFM56-7B S/B 72-0117, install LPT air cooling tube

(35-750), seal ring (35-790) and bolts (35-740) on HPC front
stator at the 10:30 o'clock position. Torque the bolts to 62-68 lb
in. (7.0-7.7 N·m).
d Install retaining strap (35-720) and bolts (35-710) on LPT air

cooling tube (35-750) and bracket (35-840) at the 11 o'clock
position of flange P. Torque bolts to 62-68 lb in. (7.0-7.7 N·m).
e Install retaining strap (35-680) and bolts (35-670) on LPT air

position of flange R. Torque bolts to 62-68 lb in. (7.0-7.7 N·m).
f Install retaining strap (35-700) and bolts (35-690) on LPT air
cooling tube (35-750) and bracket (01-820, 72-41-00). Torque
bolts to 62-68 lb in. (7.0-7.7 N·m).
(d) When the engine is routed for shop visit, do as follows:

1 If the HPT blades have accumulated more than 5,000 CSN of
operation, when routed for repair request inspection of the leading
edge internal rib for evaluation of crack initiation and repair
acceptability as specified in RD 150-1551. To make sure that the
repair facility knows that the inspection is necessary, request the
inspection in RD 150-1551 to be done on your repair request
documentation. The HPT blades that pass CFM56-7B ESM,
72-52-01, INSPECTION 001 serviceability inspections and the
inspections specified in RD 150-1551 will be identified by an X
marked after the cycle count identification. For these HPT blades,
when returned to operation, use the on-wing borescope inspection
interval as defined below.
a Do this task every 800 subsequent cycles thereafter.
