## Discrepancy

CYLINDERS WERE FOUND DURING COMPRESSION CHECK AT THE 100 HOUR INSPECTION.  WE ARE USING A SOAP SOLUTION TO DETECT CRACKS IN THE EXHAUST SIDE OF THE CYLINDER WHILE DOING A COMPRESSION CHECK.  WE ARE DOING COMPRESSION CHECKS EACH 50 HOURS.  3 CRACKED CYLINDERS WERE FOUND ON THE SAME ENGINE AT THIS INSPECTION.  (K)
