## Discrepancy

DURING NORMAL EVENT INSPECTION, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE AIR SHIELD WAS CHAFFING AGAINST THE UPPER RT ENGINE MOUNT LEG WHERE IT PASSES THROUGH THE BAFFLE SHIELD FOR THE PLENUM ASSY.  RECOMMENDED THAT CLOSE INSPECTION BE GIVEN TO AREA WHERE BAFFLING COULD BE CUTTING INTO THE ENGINE MOUNT.  BOTH TIMES THIS WAS FOUND, ENGINE MOUNTS HAD TO BE REPAIRED BY APPROVED WELDING METHODS BY AUTHORIZED REPAIRED FACILITIES.  (K)
