## Discrepancy

DURING A SCHEUDLED INSPECTION, THE NR 1 COMBUSTION CAN ASSY ON THE LEFT ENGINE WAS REJECTED DUE TO AN OUTER CASING BURN-THROUGH NEAR THE AFT END.  UPON CAN REMOVAL, THE FLAME TUBE WAS FOUND CRACKED 360 DEGREES AND SEPARATED APPROXIMATELY 4 INCHES - 5 INCHES FROM THE AFT END.  NO DOWN STREAM IMPACT OR TEMPERATURE DISTRESS NOTED.  THE DAMAGED PARTS WILL BE REPLACED.  THE COMBUSTION CAN WILL BE SENT TO RR.
