What was found

(CAN) WHILE CARRYING OUT A DAILY CHECK, A CRACK WAS FOUND ON THE COMPRESSOR SCROLL ON TOP, PARALLEL TO SHROUD HSG AND NEAR THE RT ELBOW. ACFT WAS GROUNDED. COMPRESSOR ASSY IS AN ON-CONDITION ITEM BUT THERE IS AN INSP EVERY 2000 HOURS. AS YOU CAN SEE THIS SCROLL WAS VERY HIGH TIME. SINCE LAST 2000 HOUR INSP 374.8 HOURS. TO THE 2000 HR INSP INVOLVES INSPECTING THE SPUR ADAPTER GEAR AND ITS MATING GEAR. BELIEVE THAT THE SCROLL IS THE SAME TIME AS THE COMPRESSOR ASSY.
