## Discrepancy

WHILE UNDERGOING A CHECK 3 MAINT INSP DURING EARLY NOVEMBER 2008, THE STIFFENING RING ON THE 1ST LOW PRESSURE TURBINE NOZZLE ON ENGINE WAS FOUND SEPARATED AND TRAPPED BETWEEN THE 1ST LP TURBINE NOZZLE AND THE HIGH PRESSURE TURBINE NOZZLE.  NO SECONDARY DAMAGE WAS NOTED.  PROBABLE CAUSE IS A SUSPECT MANUFACTURING OPERATION.
