Jack,
We are concerned about the manual peening not being allowed in the new AMS2430. In paragraph 6.5 of AMS-S-13165, "Additional Peening", there appears to be an allowance for manual peening. The last sentence, "Use of special nozzle equipment" is how we get there. Why is it not being allowed in the new procedure? What happens to parts that we have (in the past) manually peened (AMS-S-13165) and then the same parts need peening per AMS2430? It sounds like this issue is going to be bigger than we think, industry wide that is.
