## Discrepancy

DURING MAINTENANCE IT WAS NECCESARY TO REMOVE THE EXHAUST SYSTEM.  WHEN EXHAUST RISER WAS REMOVED FROM MUFFLER IT WAS NOTED THAT HOLES FOR ALINGMENT PIN/CLAMP WERE NOT IN ALINGMENT WITH EACH OTHER.  THIS CONDITION RESULTED IN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM BEING INSTALLED UNDER TENSION AND IF NOT CORRECTED THIS CONDITION WOULD HAVE CONTINUED DURING REASSEMBLY.
