## Discrepancy

IAH - FLT 0010 - THE NR 3 ENGINE N2 EXCEEDED LIMITS AND BOTH THE NR 1 AND NR 2 ENGINE EGT'S ROSE TO 980 DEGREES ON ROTATION LEAVING IAH.  ALL ENGINE THROTTLES WERE RETARDED WITH THE NR 1 AND NR 2 EGT'S DROPPING BELOW RED LINE AND THE NR 3 ENGINE N2 RETURNING TO WITHIN LIMITS.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO IAH WHERE IT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  THE NR 3 ENGINE WAS REMOVED AND REPLACED.  BOTH THE NR 1 AND NR 2 ENGINES UNDERWENT A BORESCOPE, A VSV/VBV RIG CHECK, AND POWER ASSURANCE RUN WITH NO FAULTS FOUND.  THE SDR WILL REMAIN OPEN FOR PART INFORMATION PENDING INVESTIGATION INTO NR 3 ENGINE FAILURE.  SUPPLEMENT - INVESTIGATION DID NOT REVEAL ANY CAUSE FOR THE NR 3 ENGINE N2 OVERSPEED.  (X)
