Narrative:
I was notified at the beginning of shift that I was involved with an investigation on an engine shutdown. A rag was found in the #3 bearing compartment and I gave clearance for the installation of the #1 and #2 bearing support. But; as I can remember when I gave the clearance; there was no debris or foreign objects in the area.
