## Discrepancy

WHILE REMOVING THE ENGINE FOR A SCHEDULED OVERHAUL, WE NOTICED 5 RIVETS SHEARED OFF THE TOP HALF OF THE INDUCTION AIR PLENUM BAND ASSEMBLY.  A SHEARED RIVET HEAD CAN EASILY FIT THRU THE ENGINE INLET SCREEN AND COULD BE INGESTED BY THE ENGINE CAUSING GREAT DAMAGE OR TOTAL ENGINE FAILURE. (K)
