1. P LA N N I N G I N F O R M A T I O N A. E ff e ct i v i ty CF34-8E This Service Bulletin is applicable to all CF34-8E engines. The operability bleed start valve (OBV) VIN 3291552-3 (P/N 4121T67P03) is affected by this Service Bulletin. B. D e s c r i p t i o n This Service Bulletin provides instructions to replace OBV VIN 3291552-3 (P/N 4121T67P03) with an OBV VIN 5000728-104 (P/N 4123T71P02), VIN 5000728-106 (P/N 4123T71P03), or VIN 5080046-101 (P/N 4123T71P04). N O T E : If OBV VIN 5000728-104 (P/N 4123T71P02), VIN 5000728-106 (P/N 4123T71P03), or VIN 5080046-101 (P/N 4123T71P04) is currently installed, compliance to this Service Bulletin is not required. C. C o m p l i a n c e Category 2 GE recommends that you do this Service Bulletin as soon as possible without effect on revenue service on OBV VIN 3291552-3 (P/N 4124T67P03) before the OBV reaches 12,000 operation hours. If the OBV has more than 6,000 operation hours, this Service Bulletin must be incorporated within 6,000 operation hours or 24 months of the initial issuance of this Service Bulletin, whichever comes fi rst. If the OBV has less than 6,000 operation hours, this Service Bulletin must be incorporated before reaching 12,000 operation hours. N O T E 1 : For the purposes of this Service Bulletin, total OBV time is the total operational time of the OBV in hours when known or based on OBV production date. If none of this information is available, assume the total OBV time to be greater than 12,000 operation hours. N O T E 2 : This Service Bulletin can be accomplished on wing or in shop. This Service Bulletin is offered to improve the reliability or performance of your GE product, or to help prevent the occurrence of the event or condition described in this Service Bulletin. If the operator elects not to participate in the bulletin, that decision will be taken into consideration by GE in evaluating future product performance issues that may arise in the operator’s fl eet. D. C o n c u r re n t R e q u i re m e n t s None.

E. R e a s o n (1) Objective: To remove parts from service and reduce signi fi cant events. (2) Condition: The current OBVs have experienced three fi tting failures or pull out events, resulted in fuel leaks. Two of those events resulted in engine fi res. Approximately 10 percent of the OBVs returned for overhaul and repair have exhibited loose or leaking fi ttings. (3) Cause: Evaluation of the event OBV units and other returned valves revealed that failures were due to a combination of manufacturing variation and external fuel line loads with the current fi tting design. (4) Improvement: The affected OBV must be replaced with an OBV VIN 5000728-104 (P/N 4123T71P02), VIN 5000728-106 (P/N 4123T71P03), or VIN 5080046-101 (P/N 4123T71P04). These OBVs part numbers have not displayed a similar failure mode in the fi eld or when returned to the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) shop. These OBVs also do not have the fi tting design associated with OBV VIN 3291552-3 (P/N 4121T67P03). (5) Substantiation: Substantiation is by comparative analysis and fl eet experience. F. A p p rov a l This Service Bulletin has been reviewed by the FAA and the repair(s) and modi fi cation(s) herein comply with the applicable Federal Aviation Regulations and are FAA APPROVED for installation in the model(s) listed in this Service Bulletin. G. M a n p o w e r After you get access to the OBV, you will need approximately 1 man-hour to do the replacement portion of this Service Bulletin. H.
