C. Reason
(1) Problem:
(a) TFE731 engines have a history of leaking starter-generator and alternator
gearshaft air-oil seals at the accessory drive gearbox cover, PN 3060810-1.
(2) Background:
(a) A new hydrodynamic air-oil seal has been designed that will reduce the
occurrences of oil leakage at the starter-generator and alternator gearshaft
seal locations of the accessory drive gearbox cover. Conguration changes to
the accessory drive gearbox cover now require shimming of the assembled
starter-generator and alternator gearshafts to make sure they are properly
positioned when the accessory drive gearbox assembly is fully assembled.
The existing accessory drive gearbox assembly, PN 3060827-2, can be
reworked in accordance with this service bulletin to incorporate the new air-oil
seal design. The reworked accessory drive gearbox assembly is reidentifed
to PN 3060827-4.
(3) Action:
(a) Rework the accessory drive gearbox assembly, PN 3060827-2, to incorporate
a new accessory drive gearbox cover, PN 3060810-2, air-oil seals PN
3075815-1, rotor seals PN 3075818-1. The accessory drive gearbox assembly
is reidentifed to PN 3060827-4.
D. Description
(1) This service bulletin provides instructions to rework the accessory drive gearbox
assembly from PN 3060827-2 to PN 3060827-4, by incorporating a new accessory
drive gearbox cover, PN 3060810-2, new air-oil seals, PN 3075815-1, new rotor seals,
PN 3075818-1, and associated hardware.
E. Compliance
(1) Compliance addresses a substantial improvement to reliability.
(2) Honeywell recommends that this service bulletin be accomplished at the next CZI.
