## Discrepancy

DURING AN ANNUAL INSPECTION, RT MLG TORQUE TUBE FOUND CRACKED.  THE CRACK IS APPROXIMATELY .50 INCH LONG AND IS LOCATED ON THE WELD AT THE BOSS FOR THE FORK BOLT.  THE CRACK WAS DETECTED BY A VISIBLE LINE IN THE PAINT ON THE PART, BUT WHEN THE PAINT WAS REMOVED FOR A MORE THOROUGH INSPECTION, CRACK WAS OBVIOUS ONLY WHEN LIQUID PENETRANT INSPECTION WAS UTILIZED.
