(2) The pipe was manufactured prior to March 1, 1974, and the metal identity tag located around the fireproof sleeve of the pipe (which contains the date of manufacture) has not been marked with -

(i) the marking "DRS.685";

(ii) an engine number or a running time;

(iii) a second date marking in brackets which is later than March 1, 1974; or

(iv) the marking "ZERO."

(b) If, during the inspection required by paragraph (a) of this AD, a pipe is found that meets the specifications contained in paragraph (a) of this AD, before returning the engine to service, inspect the pipe for the presence of corroded, cracked, or broken wires using 5X or 10X magnification in accordance with the instructions contained in paragraphs 4A and 4B of Rolls Royce Dart Service Bulletin Da 73-73, dated August 29, 1975 (hereinafter SB DA 73-73), or an FAA-approved equivalent, and comply with paragraph (c) or (d) of this AD, as applicable.

(d) If, during the inspection required by paragraph (b) of this AD, the pipe is found to be serviceable, before returning the engine to service, clean and identify the pipe in accordance with paragraphs 4B(4) and 4B(6) of SB Da 73-73, or an FAA-approved equivalent.

(e) The FAA-approved equivalent means of compliance specified in paragraphs (b), (c), and (d) of this AD must be approved by the Manager, Aircraft Certification Staff, FAA, Europe, Africa, and Middle East Office, c/o American Embassy, Brussels, Belgium.
