An md-11 flight crew was unable to stow one reverser after landing and the tpt rose to 780 degrees. ...

Narrative:

After landing we had a thrust reverser that would not stow. The tpt reached 780 degrees and the engine was shut down. After the flight; it was entered into the aml. The onboard maintenance technician reset the maximum ind after he saw the temperature. The aircraft was not airworthy until after a borescope was completed. When maintenance had fixed the aircraft; we prepared for departure. I was told that the borescope was completed and that the results were normal. All deferred items were listed and open items cleared. I was later informed that the aircraft was broken at another airport; not mia; and that the flight data recorder was not on board.the event occurred because maintenance improperly deferred a maintenance item. I am also under the impression that management did not believe the discrepancy and were looking for means to discipline the crew for deviating to the bahamas.
