## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING A NR 4 INSPECTION, THE V-BAND CLAMP ATTACHING THE EXHAUST TAIL PIPE TO THE TURBOCHARGER, WAS FOUND BROKEN. THE CLAMP WAS BROKEN IN HALF. THE ONLY THING HOLDING THE TAIL PIPE ON WAS A SUPPORTING HOSE TYPE CLAMP MOUNTED HALF WAY DOWN THE PIPE. THE BROKEN CLAMP WAS REPLACED.
