## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING CRUISE, THE PILOTS OBSERVED ENG TEMPERATURE RISING THRU 800°C AND PEAKING OVER 1000°C. FLAMES WERE NOTICED FROM THE EXHAUST. THE ENG WAS SHUTDOWN AND FIRE BOTTLES DISCHARGED. A SINGLE ENG LANDING FOLLOWED.  POST FLIGHT INSPECTION REVEALED OIL LEAKING FROM GAS GENERATOR CASE AND EXHAUST AREA. THE ENG WAS REMOVED AND SENT FOR INVESTIGATION WHERE TEARDOWN REVEALED A NR 1 BEARING DISTRESS. MFG WILL CONTINUE INVESTIGATING THE EVENT AND ADVISE OF ROOT CAUSE ONCE ESTABLISHED.
