## Discrepancy

WHEN ARRIVING THE PILOT REPORTED THAT ENG 2 HAD ABNORMAL EGT INDICATION AROUND 220°C DIFFERENCE.  DUE THAT REASON THE ACFT WAS HELD ON GND FOR MX.  PERFORMED A FAULT ANALYSIS IAW TSM 77-20-00-810-802-B FINDING THAT THE THERMOCOUPLES OF POSITIONS B & C OF ENG 2 HAD LOOSEN STUDS.  R & R SUCH THERMOCOUPLES IAW AMM 77-21-15 PB401, PERFORMED THE CORRESPONDING TESTS WITH NORMAL RESULTS.  THE ACFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
