## Discrepancy

SHIP 3315 MTC WAS SCHEDULED TO REPLACE A CRACKED SIDE SEALING SECTION (DEPRESSOR) P/N F534753732140, BUT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS ON HAND TO ACCOMPLISH A PERMANENT REPAIR. THE DAMAGE WAS ORIGINALLY DEFERRED PER A330 SRM 53-00-29-300-002, WHICH ALLOWS CRACK DAMAGE UP TO 5.9IN FOLLOWING A STOP DRILL AND APPLICATION OF SPEED TAPE. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION, MTC IDENTIFIED THAT THE CRACK DAMAGE HAD JUMPED THE ORIGINAL STOP DRILL AND NOW EXTENDS 8 INCHES LONG, BEYOND THE ALLOWABLE LIMITS OF THE SRM. CORRECTIVE ACTION: REF ER/A 613960-14. (5073125)
