## Discrepancy

NR 2 ENGINE HAD INCREASING OIL TEMPERATURE AND DECREASING OIL PRESSURE.  THIS STABILIZED, BUT OIL QUANTITY CONTINUED TO DECREASE AND SMOKE WAS OBSERVED COMING OUT OF THE OUTBOARD AUGMENTOR TUBE.  ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND SECURED, AND RETURNED TO SDQ.  FOUND MASTER ROD BEARING FAILURE.  ENGINE REPLACED AND AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO SERVICE.
