GE CF34 SB #5 Bearing Replacement

August 2012

General Electric Service Bulletin (SB) CF34-72-0252 replaces the #5 bearing that was introduced on newer production engines, starting with engine S/N 950333, or with the incorporation of SB 72-0176. The #5 bearing, P/N 5042T13P04, was redesigned to increase the internal radial clearance. This increased clearance has now shown to be susceptible to higher engine vibrations.

The new bearing, P/N 5042T13P06, reduces the internal radial clearance. GE recommends that this category 6 SB be accomplished at next exposure.

If you are experiencing INTERMITTENT vibration levels that are significantly higher than normal at the higher power settings, please contact Duncan Aviation for further investigation.
