## Discrepancy

SJU - ON CLIMB-OUT, NOTED THE NR 3 ENGINE WAS DISPLAYING AN ABNORMALLY HIGH OIL TEMPERATURE.  THE NR 3 ENGINE WAS PRECAUTIONARILY SHUT DOWN, AND THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO SJU FOR MAINTENANCE.  SJU MAINTENANCE DETERMINED A WIRING DEFECT AT THE NR 3 OIL TEMP INDICATOR WAS CAUSING AN ERRONEOUSLY HIGH OIL TEMPERATURE INDICATION.  THE DAMAGED WIRE WAS REPLACED, AND THE ENGINE RUN TO CONFIRM NORMAL OIL TEMP INDICATION.  (X)
