Narrative

DURING THE INITIAL TKOF ROLL ON RWY 1R AT SFO; THE #3 ENG COMPRESSOR STALLED BEFORE FULL TKOF PWR (1.46 EPR) WAS SET. THERE WAS A STRONG XWIND FROM THE L (WIND WAS APPROX 280 DEGS AT 18 KTS) SO I SUSPECTED THE COMPRESSOR STALL WAS DUE TO THE XWIND. THE TKOF WAS ABORTED. AS WE TAXIED BACK TO THE GATE TO HAVE THE ENG INSPECTED; MY SO (YYXX) BEGAN TO TALK TO A SFO BASED ACR MECH WHO INFORMED YYXX THAT AN ENG INSPECTION WAS NOT NECESSARY SINCE WE SUSPECTED THE COMPRESSOR STALL WAS DUE TO THE XWIND. I THEN PERSONALLY TALKED TO THIS MECH (NAME UNKNOWN) TO CONFIRM THIS INFO. THIS CONVERSATION TOOK PLACE VIA RADIO ON THE LCL GATE FREQ. THIS MECH TOLD ME DIRECTLY THAT SINCE THE COMPRESSOR STALL WAS DUE TO THE XWIND; THAT AN ENG INSPECTION WAS NOT NECESSARY. WE TAXIED BACK TO RWY 1R AND ATTEMPTED ANOTHER TKOF. THE #3 ENG COMPRESSOR STALLED AGAIN AND WE ABORTED THIS TKOF ALSO. WE TAXIED TO RWY 28L AND THE TKOF ON THIS RWY WAS WITHOUT EVENT. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE RPTR STATED THE ADVICE GIVEN BY MAINT AT SFO WAS IN ERROR AS THE ENGS WERE REQUIRED TO BE CHKED.
