## Discrepancy

(CAN) ENGINE WAS BEING WORKED ON FOR ROUGH RUNNING, WHILE THE CYLINDER VALVES WERE BEING CHECKED, THE NR 1 INTAKE AND NR 2 CYLINDER INTAKE VALVE CLEARANCES SEEMED EXCESSIVE.  AFTER MORE INVESTIGATION IT WAS FOUND THAT THE CAM FOLLOWER WAS VERY CORRODED. THE ENGINE WILL BE SENT FOR REPAIRS.
