## Discrepancy

INTERNAL DEFECT REPORT FORM. THE CAP WAS CAPABLE OF COVERING THE NOZZLE FEED DURING PREVIOUS BUILD. ACCORDING TO RECORDS, MODULE LAST EXPOSED IN 2012/2013. THE CAP WOULD HAVE PREVENTED OIL JET FROM DIRECTING OIL ONTO FORWARD FACE OF NR 1 BEARING. THERE IS AN OIL NOZZLE TO THE REAR OF THE NR 1 BEARING, WHICH WAS NOT OBSTRUCTED. IT HAS BEEN AGREED TO REMOVE THE NR 1 BEARING FOR OVERHAUL. WHEN FOUND THE CAP HAD BROKEN A SECTION, WHICH WAS LIKELY A RESULT OF EROSION/FATIGUE FROM THE OIL FEED.
