## Discrepancy

INSPECTION FOUND 2 EACH VANE AIR PASSAGES CLOGGED.  CLOGGED VANE AIR PASSAGES CAN RESTRICT COOLING AIR TO CENTER SHEET METAL SEAL SUPPORT.  THIS COULD BE A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR IN THE FAILURE OF THE SEAL SUPPORT.  IF THE SEAL SUPPORT FAILS IT IS LIKELY THAT A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE WILL OCCUR.  SUBMITTER RECOMMENDATION:  MODIFICATION TO -10.
