## Discrepancy

DURING CLIMB, FL 360 LT DUCT PRESSURE 44 PSI, RT 22 PSI, N1'S WERE 100.5 - PRESSURIZATION NORMAL.  DURING CRUISE AT FL 380 DUCT PRESSURES LT=34 PSI, RT=28 PSI.  ACFT GROUNDED. ACCOMPLISHED TC NG-36WC-00001.  PRECOOLER CONTROL VALVE FAILED, R & R PRECOOLER CONTROL VALVE IAW MM 36-12-02.  OPS CHECKED NR 2 ENG IAW MM 36-11-00-710-801- BLEED CROSSOVER TEST.  BLEED TEST FAILED DUE TO PRESSURE FLUCTUATIONS OF +20 PSI AT 80 PERCENT N1.  R & R NR 2 ENGINE HIGH STAGE VALVE IAW MM 36-11-06-000-801 + MM 36-11-06-400-801. REMOVED PRECOOLER CV SENSOR + 450 DEGREE THERMOSTAT IAW MM 36-12-03-000-801 + 36-11-05-000-801.  T/C NG-36WC-000A COMPLETE UP TO STEP L.  INSTALLED NR 2 ENG 450 DEGREE THERMOSTAT REF.
