Sandiego,
they same high-tech fix was applied to the C-5A. When the engines were idle they would spin in the wind causing bearing wear and noise from the christmas tree joints. The solution was a piece of 2X4" with an RBF tag stuck in the intake. I saw it with my own eyes while being given a guided tour, allegedly this problem did not exist with the C-5B.
