Revised: 06/02/2006 Issued: 06/02/2006
SB 72-0034 R00 ENGINE - General (72-00-00) - Introduction of Improved High
Pressure Compressor Stator Case Horizontal Flange Bolt PN J815P026A

None.
C. Description
This Service Bulletin introduces a high pressure compressor
(HPC) stator case horizontal flange double hexagon head bolt
PN J815P026A to eliminate the likelihood the nut will bottom
out on the incomplete bolt threads. When the nut bottoms out
there is a possibility that it will lead to a reduced
clamp/leakage for those locations. The ultimate capability
is not compromised with the original stack-up, however to
ensure best practices GE recommends using the new
configuration.
D. Compliance
Category 5
GE recommends that you do this Service Bulletin as soon as
the HPC stator case horizontal flange double hexagon head
bolts PN J815P028A are removed from the engine.
E. Reason
(1) Objective:
To replace the HPC stator case horizontal flange double
head hexagon, PN J815P028A for a new horizontal flange
double head hexagon bolt PN J815P026A
(2) Condition:
A possibility exists that the bolts near the forward end
of the HPC stator case horizontal flange may currently
have incomplete threads partially engaged. This condition
could lead to reduced clamp/leakage at those locations.
Ultimate capability is not affected.
(3) Cause:
At locations where the HPC stator case horizontal flange
is thinner (near the front) the longer double hexagon head
bolt may bottom out before clamping on the flange. This
stack-up was overlooked when the HPC case bolted joints
were originally designed.
(4) Improvement:
The proposed HPC stator case horizontal flange double
hexagon head bolt, PN J815P026A, is identical to the
current double hexagon head bolt, PN J815P028A, except the
unthreaded shank length and total length are slightly
shorter.
(5) Substantiation:
The proposed bolt, PN J815P026A, meets the requirement of
having two threads protrude past the end of the nut (for
self-locking) and the requirement that the nut not bottom
out on the bolt before clamping on the flange. The main

effect of the current condition is that preload (clamp)

could be reduced in some stacks. This does not affect
ultimate capability.
F. Approval
Technical aspects, FAA approved June 02, 2006.
G. Manpower
No additional man-hours are required to comply with this
Service Bulletin if accomplished at an approved overhaul
facility.
H. Weight and Balance
Weight and balance are not changed.
