## Discrepancy

SLOWING TO 250 KNTS FOR DESCENT, NOTICED AN INCREASED VIBRATION THAT FELT LIKE IT WAS ENGINE.  FOUND T/R -Y- CHECK VALVE NR 1 ENGINE LOWER SUPPLY LINE BLOWN APART.  REMOVED LINE AND ORDERED PARTS.  UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION ON WHY THE T/R V AIR TUBE CAME APART, FOUND THE FOWARD LINK ASSEMBLY ON THE T/R ACTUATION RGLTR SHUTOFF VALVE BROKEN.  THE BROKEN LINK ASSEMBLY CAME TO REST ON AND DAMAGE A 1ST STAGE IGV VANE ACTN ARM ASSY.  DUE TO THE UNKNOWN AND VIBS ALONG WITH THE IVGV LEVER BROKEN, APPROVED THIS ENGINE FOR CHANGE.
