## Discrepancy

GAP BETWEEN ENGINE THRUST REVERSER SLEEVE AND FAN COWLING.  NR 1 ENGINE APPROX 7 O'CLOCK POSITION.  REPAIRED RUB STRIP.  STILL MISMATCHED BY 070.  OK PER MT 71-031 AND AMM 71-10-00-607 FOUND THAT .070  INCH UNDERFAIR (OUT OF WIND) TO BE ACCEPTABLE.  THE REVERSER IS -.070 INCH AND THE LIMIT IS -.100 INCH (OUT OF WIND) FOR 100 PERCENT OF THE COWLING, THIS IS AT THE 07:00 POS.
