The filler cap P/N 2349M62G01 is affected by this Service

Bulletin.

B. Description

This Service Bulletin provides a procedure to replace or rework

the filler cap P/N 2349M62G01.

C. Compliance

Category 2

GE recommends that you do this Service Bulletin as soon as

possible without effect on revenue service or within 6 months of

the issue date of this Service Bulletin.

NOTE: 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 fleet.

D. Concurrent Requirements

None.

E. Reason

(1) Objective:

To replace or rework the filler cap P/N 2349M62G01 that was added by S/B 

79-0015, to improve the secondary seal function, and improve reliability.

(2) Condition:

A correctly installed filler cap does not leak. However, if the oil filler

cap is not correctly installed in the current filler cap P/N 2349M62G01, a

high oil leakage may occur during engine operation.

(3) Cause:

The secondary seal in the current filler cap P/N 2349M62G01 has a ball

valve P/N 2349M68P01 that has a surface roughness and profile that can

prevent correct sealing and lead to an oil leakage if the filler cap is not

correctly installed.

(4) Improvement:

The new ball valve P/N 2349M68P01 is manufactured by a new source. The

improved surface finish and geometry of this ball valve, when incorporated

by this Service Bulletin, will improve the sealing efficiency and minimize

any oil leakage in the event that the filler cap is not correctly

installed.

(5) Substantiation:

Substantiation is by test.

F. Approval

The data contained in this Service Bulletin has been reviewed by

the appropriate governmental authority and the repair(s) and

modification(s) herein comply with the applicable Aviation

Regulations and are APPROVED for installation in the model(s)

listed in this Service Bulletin.

G. Manpower

After you get access to the filler cap, you will need

approximately 1.0 man-hour for each engine or component.

H. Weight and Balance

Weight and balance are not changed.

3. ACCOMPLISHMENT INSTRUCTIONS

A. Removal

(1) Find the part number on the outside of the filler cap (1, Figure 1)

scupper. If it is P/N 2349M62G01, it is affected by this Service Bulletin.

Do a check of the adjacent section to this part number for additional

marks. If there is a P/M BALL PP or RW or 79-0022 mark, this filler cap (1)

already complies with the intent of this Service Bulletin and no action is

necessary.

(2) For all other filler cap (1) P/N 2349M62G01, continue with the

accomplishment instructions below:

CAUTION: THE PREFORMED PACKING (3) IN THE FILLER CAP (1) ASSEMBLY NEEDS SOME

EFFORT TO UNSEAT THE FILLER CAP (1) ASSEMBLY FROM THE OIL TANK (4)

AND REMOVE IT. BE CAREFUL WHEN THE FILLER CAP (1) ASSEMBLY IS

REMOVED OR DAMAGE TO THE PART CAN OCCUR. THE FILLER CAP (1)

ASSEMBLY REMOVAL MUST BE DONE WITH THE COWLS OPEN BECAUSE THE

CLEARANCE THROUGH THE SERVICING DOOR IS INSUFFICIENT.

(a) Remove the filler cap (1). Refer to the GEnx-1B Boeing 787 AMM,

B787-A-G79-11-03-00A-520A-A and do as follows:

1 Remove the filler cap (1) from the oil tank (4) as follows:

a Disconnect the oil tank drain tube (5) from the filler cap (1).

b Remove the four bolts (2) and four flat washers (6) that attach

the filler cap (1) to the oil tank (4).

c Remove the filler cap (1) from the oil tank (4).

d Remove the preformed packing (3) from the filler cap (1).

Discard the preformed packing (3).

NOTE: The best practice is to replace the preformed packing (3). But

if necessary, a close visual inspection of the preformed

packing (3) for distress (cracking, compression set, loss of

flexibility) can be done to find out if the preformed packing

(3) can be used again.

e Install protective covers on the open ports of the oil tank (4),

oil tank drain tube (5), and filler cap (1).

B. Alternative Procedure for the Replacement of the Ball Valve in

the Filler Cap

(1) The ball valve replacement of the filler cap (1, Figure 1) can be done by

the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). Send the removed filler cap (and

include this Service Bulletin number) to:

C. Rework

NOTE: The preference is to have the OEM do the ball valve (10) replacement in

the filler cap (1).

(1) If the customer replaces the ball valve (10, Figure 1) in the filler cap

(1), do the following procedure:

(a) Rework the filler cap (1) as follows:

1 In a clean shop environment, remove and replace the ball valve (10)

in the filler cap (1) as follows

CAUTION: THE SELF-LOCKING NUT (7) HAS THREAD LOCK AND WILL RESIST

REMOVAL, BE CAREFUL WHEN THE SELF-LOCKING NUT (7) IS REMOVED

TO AVOID DAMAGE. THE BALL VALVE (10) CAN BE DIFFICULT TO

REMOVE. DO NOT USE TOOLS, THERE IS A SAFETY SCREEN THAT CAN

BE EASILY DAMAGED AND WILL MAKE THE FILLER CAP (1)

UNSERVICEABLE.

a Carefully remove the self-locking nut (7), the two washers (8),

and the retaining pin (9).

b Remove and discard the old ball valve (10).

c Carefully remove the new ball valve (10) from the packing and

install it into the filler cap (1) housing.

d Install the retaining pin (9) with one washer (8) into the

bolthole of the filler cap (1) housing.

e Clean the retaining pin (9) with C04-180 alcohol or with C04-035

isopropyl alcohol.

f Install the second washer (8) on the retaining pin (9).

g Immediately before of the installation of the self-locking nut

(7), apply C01-012 liquid locking agent on the retaining pin (9)

that was previously cleaned.

CAUTION: THIS IS A LOW INSTALLATION TORQUE. DO NOT APPLY TOO MUCH

TORQUE TO THE SELF-LOCKING NUT. DAMAGE TO THE RETAINING PIN

OR THE FILLER CAP (1) HOUSING CAN OCCUR.

h Install the self-locking nut (7) and torque it to 1.7-2.2 lb in.

(0.20-0.25 N.m).

NOTE: Obey the manufacturerþs recommended procedure for the thread

lock and let sufficient cure time before the reinstallation of

the filler cap (1). The rate of cure will be faster if the

temperature rises. If the temperature lowers, it could be as

long as 6 hours. Warming to 104 F (40 C) degrees can decrease

the time to approximately 1 hour. Refer to the manufacturerþs

recommendations.

i Do an inspection for distortion. Make sure that the measure of

the internal diameter at the bottom of the ball valve (10) site

of the filler cap (1) is 0.3858-0.3937 inch (9.800-10.000 mm).

j Find the part marking on the filler cap (1) and put a 79-0022

mark adjacent to the P/N. Refer to the GE SPM, 70-16-04,

VIBRO-PEEN MARKING or 70-16-08, DOT PEEN MARKING FOR OPTICAL

CHARACTER RECOGNITION.

k Carefully hold and turn the filler cap (1) to make sure that the

ball valve (10) moves freely.

D. Installation

(1) Before the filler cap (1, Figure 1) is installed again into the oil tank

(4), do a general visual inspection (GVI) of the filler cap, specially the

foreign object damage (FOD) screen installation integrity, flapper, locking

lever mechanism function, and all seal/seating areas.

(2) Install the filler cap (1) on the oil tank (4). Refer to GEnx-1B Boeing 787

AMM, B787-A-G79-11-03-00A-720A-A as follows:

NOTE:Refer to the GEnx-1B Boeing 787 AMM for the post installation test

requirements. A visual check of the installation of the preformed packing

(3) can be done by two mechanics on this component as an alternative to

an engine leak test.

(a) Remove the protective covers from the open ports of the oil tank (4),

oil tank drain tube (5), and filler cap (1).

(b) Lubricate the new or serviceable preformed packing (3) with C02-019

engine oil.

(c) Install the new or serviceable preformed packing (3) on the filler cap

(1).

(d) Put the filler cap (1) in its position on the oil tank (4).

(e) Lubricate the threads and friction surfaces on the four bolts (2) with

C02-019 engine oil.

(f) Install the filler cap (1) on the oil tank (4) with the four bolts (2)

and four flat washers (6).

CAUTION: THE INSTALLATION OF THE FILLER CAP (1) INTO THE OIL TANK (4) NEEDS

SOME FORCE TO CORRECTLY SEAT THE PREFORMED PACKING (3). BE CAREFUL

TO PREVENT DAMAGE. USE A CROSS-TORQUE PROCEDURE ON THE BOLTS (2) TO

SLOWLY SEAT THE FILLER CAP (1) INTO THE OIL TANK (4).

(g) Tighten the bolts (2) to 78-96 lb in. (8.8-10.8 N.m).

(h) Connect the B-nut of the oil tank drain tube (5) to the filler cap (1).

(i) Tighten the B-nut of the oil tank drain tube (5) to 262-308 lb in.

(30.0-35.0 N.m).
