## Discrepancy

FELT SEALING STRIP APPROXIMATELY .5 INCH X 7 INCHES WAS COMING LOOSE FROM INSIDE THE ENGINE INDUCTION AIR PLENUM.  OFFENDING FELT STRIP WAS REMOVED AS IT SERVES NO PURPOSE.  THIS STRIP WAS LOCATED AT ABOUT 4 O’CLOCK ON THE INSIDE SURFACE ACROSS THE RT END OF THE LOWER PLENUM PANEL PN 2658039-19.  LOCATION OF STRIP COINCIDES WITH LOWER END OF ACCESS PANEL PN 2658039-1 WHICH HAS PROPERLY POSITIONED FELT SEALING STRIPS.
