## Discrepancy

(CAN) ENGINE TEARDOWN RELATED TO AN IFSD AND A POSSIBLE COMPRESSOR FAILURE.  TEARDOWN NOT YET CONCLUSIVE. IT WAS NOT A COMPRESSOR FAILURE BUT APPEARS TO BE FAILURE OF ONE OR MORE CT BLADES AND THEN CAUSED A STRUCTURAL FAILURE OF THE GAS GENERATOR CASE, WHICH THEN RESULTED IN COMPRESSOR DAMAGE.  COMPRESSOR ROTOR WAS LOCKED UP BUT THE PT ROTOR WAS FREE TO ROTOATE. IT APPEARS TO BE UNECONOMICAL TO REPAIR THIS ENGINE. (TC# 20061124001)
