## Discrepancy

(CAN) ON A SCHEDULED 100 HR INSP, A CRACKED WAS FOUND ON THE UPPER BEARING CAP THAT SUPPORTS THE IB END OF THE COLLECTIVE JACKSHAFT.  AFTER REMOVAL, IT WAS NOTED THAT THE CRACK HAD NOT YET GONE FULLY THRU THE MATERIAL. THE ASSY WAS REPLACED WITH A SERVICEABLE UNIT AND AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO SERVICE.
