This document discusses misalignment of the acoustic panel on some CFM56-3 engines for Boeing 737 aircraft. It notes that misalignment is mainly seen near the 6 o'clock position and provides the serviceable limit of 0.5 inches as allowed by the aircraft maintenance manual. CFM received a used panel for evaluation but it was too damaged for a repair study. The document requests another misaligned panel be provided to CFM for potential repair evaluation and provides contact information.
Original Description:
Misalignment occurs on the rear side of the panel close to the CSD cooler

Repair needs to be evaluated
• Some shops reports non-official repair solution (Unapproved)
• Solution testing is required
• CFM requests another misalignment panel for evaluation
▪ In case of eligible panel availability (without delamination)
• Contact your CFM ATPM / or CFM PSE
