## Discrepancy

(CAN) THIS PN OF CYL ALREADY HAS AN AD AGAINST IT (AD 2008-19-05) THIS CYLINDER IS S/N NOT APPLICABLE ACCORDING TO THE AD. THE CYLINDER HEAD POPPED RIGHT OFF OF THE CYLINDER IN NORMAL CRUISE CONDITIONS. THIS INCIDENT LOOKS A LOT LIKE WHAT IS DESCRIBED IN THE AD BUT THE CYLINDER, S/N IS 1933, SN BEYOND APPLICABILITY IN THE AD.
