## Discrepancy

NR 5 EXHAUST HEADER HAS CRACKED OFF AT FLANGE, JUNE 6/06 AT 440.6, NOV 18/06 AT 636.1 HOBBS, MAY 18/07 AT 746.7 HOBBS AND AGAIN AUG 20/07 HOBBS NOT AVAILABLE.  AFTER INSPECTING HEADER IT WOULD SEEM THAT A HEAVER GAUGE PIPE WOULD RESOLVE THE PROBLEM.  THE LAST HEADER WAS INSTALLED WITH BACK UP FLANGES WELDED TO PIPE AT FLANGE SECTION WITH NO EFFECT.  (K)
